SCastrovilla_AVMF

Selene is pleased to team with the Anthony V. Mannino Foundation helping young adults in their fight against cancer. She will donate $1 for each book ordered during THE GIRL NEXT DOOR’s Blog Tour! Selene will also send a free autographed copy of THE GIRL NEXT DOOR to anyone who donates $25 or more to the foundation (click here to donate!). For your purchase to count and/or to show proof of donation, just send a screenshot or receipt of your order or donation, along with your shipping address if necessary, through “Drop me a line” in the “Latest News” section of her website, selenecastrovilla.com.

The AVM Foundation Mission

The Mission of The Anthony V. Mannino Foundation is to financially assist young adults in the age group of 18-26 while they are undergoing their cancer treatment.  They also want to help development support programs to aid this unique age group, with their special needs, as they battle cancer.

AMVF has found that Anthony’s age group of 18 plus, doesn’t have the emotional or financial support that other age groups do. They are also aware of the unique situations that this age group faces and want to help those adolescents and their families.
