Maria Gemma-Corcelli
Executive Director
Gloria Gemma Foundation
MARIA LEADS a dedicated team committed to helping people affected by cancer throughout Rhode Island, southeastern Massachusetts and northeast Connecticut. The Foundation was named for Maria’s mother, a devout woman and mother of nine who lost her battle to breast cancer in 2002.
“My mother loved helping people. That’s what the Foundation does, it helps people when they are most vulnerable, most afraid, and often feeling isolated. We also stay connected to the cancer community and to the people the Foundation serves to ensure they get the help and support they need,” Maria said.

Cancer can be a difficult and confusing time, and Maria wants people to know that the Foundation offers services to help heal mind, body, and spirit. “All of our programs are free. We don’t want there to be any barriers to people receiving the support they need.”
