About:
Captain Phil “Fud” Pinto Jr. was a member of the Eastchester Fire Department and dutifully served his community for over 32 years. Phil was diagnosed with Stage 4 pancreatic cancer in February 2021. His illness resulted from his service at Ground Zero following the 9-11 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center. Though he fought with dignity, strength, and tenacity, Phil ultimately lost his battle with pancreatic cancer on January 8, 2022 at just a shy 54 years old.
Captain Fud’s Fighters will honor Phil’s memory and raise funds and awareness for pancreatic cancer research. Our team is participating in Lustgarten’s Walk for Pancreatic Cancer Research to celebrate the progress that has been made and to power tomorrow’s research. Support our team and embrace Lustgarten’s vision of transforming pancreatic cancer into a curable disease.
