Foundation fundraiser breaks records

The Hepatitis B Foundation's 20th Anniversary Crystal Ball broke records for

both attendance and for raising funds to support hepatitis B research.

Nearly 260 people attended the May 13 event at the PineCrest Country Club in New

Britain Township, raising $95,000 for the Buckingham-based foundation.

" Over the last 20 years, we have touched millions of lives and are a beacon of

hope around the world for all those affected by this serious liver disease, "

said foundation founder Block. " If we go as far in the next 20 years as

we've gone in the past 20, the Hepatitis B Foundation will be using its

resources to work on something else because we plan to eradicate the hepatitis B

virus in our lifetime. "
