Ken D’angelo Foundation Donates $10,000 To Mayo Clinic For Cancer Research

Donation In Memory of HomeVestors' Founder Ken D’Angelo

DALLAS, TEXAS (Wednesday, November 02, 2005) - The Ken D’Angelo Foundation recently donated $10,000 to the Mayo Clinic in memory of Ken D’Angelo, the late founder of HomeVestors of America®, who died early this year after a five-month battle with bile duct cancer.

The Ken D'Angelo Foundation was established in 2005 to award scholarships to students who are pursuing an accredited degree in real estate, franchising, or entrepreneurship. In addition, the Foundation makes charitable contributions for bile duct cancer research. The donation was presented to Jim Driscoll of the Mayo Clinic at HomeVestors’ first Founder’s Day, conducted in Dallas.

John P. Hayes, HomeVestors’ president and CEO, described the reason behind Founder’s Day.

“Founders Day is a time when we remember that our work is about more than buying ugly houses,” Hayes said. “Ken’s entrepreneurial spirit has helped hundreds of franchisees realize their dreams of owning their own business, and our collaborative effort keeps his legacy alive. Founder’s Day is a reminder of the significance of our work."

Ken D’Angelo received treatment at the Mayo Clinic, which is the first and largest integrated group practice in the world where doctors from every medical specialty work together to care for patients. It is one of the most experienced treatment centers for bile duct cancer.
