The donation will fund a research program for stomach cancer that will bear her late husband's name. At the foundation's 35th annual awards fete, Wendy Dio encouraged the audience and participants to have cancer screenings and check ups and to look after their health.
Overall, the T.J. Martell foundation raked in nearly 1.5 million at the event.
