DSFG has teamed up with A.I. duPont Hospital for Children to provide Care Bags for patients and their families so they can focus on helping their child recover. When children are admitted to the Nemours’ Pediatric Intensive Care Unit, they are far away from what feels like home. Patients and their families are bound to the hospital for days and weeks without even the basics. These Care Bags will be filled with toiletries, personal care items, snacks, and so much more. The mission of our Care Bags is to provide an additional layer of support to families so they can focus on their child. We are very pleased to have raised over $13,000 which will provide comfort to these families.


We were definitely Inspired, Educated, and Entertained at DSFG’s 2nd Symposium. Our speakers included Vince Papale (Eagles Football Player), Daniel Eliot (National Cyber Security Alliance), and Peter Gross (Entertainer/Magician). Thanks to Vince Papale, we were delighted to make a donation to his son’s favorite charity, The B+ Foundation – Kids Helping Kids Fight Cancer. DSFG has raised nearly $10,000 for this organization which provides financial and emotional support to families of children with cancer nationwide. The B+ Foundation also funds critical cutting-edge childhood cancer research. We are proud to have joined this cause and help make a difference.

Pong for a Cure co-chaired by Chris & Tammy Burgos and Alex & Thomasine Bianchi returns for its 5th Year to Sink Breast Cancer.  This tournament has raised over $200,000 with this year’s event reaching over $60,000 benefiting Cancer Support Community Delaware.  Founded in 1996, Cancer Support Community Delaware is the only organization offering support programs led by licensed mental health professionals, mind body and stress reduction classes and educational workshops for cancer survivors, their families and caregivers at no cost.  Chris Burgos is looking forward to seeing the tournament continue to grow each year. 


Diamond State Financial Group supported the Ministry of Caring by providing goody bags for the children who get meals from the Emmanuel Dining Rooms. DSFG Associates assembled and delivered the bags that included gloves, hats and toothbrushes. The Ministry serves the poor and homeless in greater Wilmington through various programs designed to support the poor by addressing their many needs and guiding them to self-sufficiency.


In the spirit of caring and sharing, DSFG Associates along with a matching contribution from the Firm, made a generous contribution to The Ronald McDonald House of Delaware in December 2016. Our contribution will help families of seriously or chronically ill or injured children receiving medical treatment at nearby hospitals find support, understanding and love in this “home away from home.”
