About Us
Project Cupid was created in 2009 by Amy Blue after the death of her nine year old cousin Isaias Valentin’s eleven month battle with Acute Myeloid Leukemia, a cancer that begins in the bone marrow.
In our first two years, Project Cupid’s Annual Charity Date Auction has raised over $12,000 for the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.
Mission Statement
“Love cures people-both the ones who give it and the ones who receive it.” – Dr. Karl Menninger
Project Cupid’s goal is to raise $25,000 with its 3rd Annual Charity Date Auction.
All proceeds will benefit the Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) research fund, a very rare subtype of leukemia that has a 83 percent death rate.
Isaias Thomas Valentin
September 9, 1999 – September 5, 2009.
On September 5, 2009 just four days shy of his 10th Birthday, Isaias lost the battle with Acute Myeloid Leukemia. Isaias was a very happy child who took great pleasure in seeing those around him smile and be happy.
“I have cancer. Cancer doesn’t have me.” – Isaias Valentin
