This year, the CCF is proud to honor the late John Mansour, whose life reflected a deep commitment to community service, generosity, and compassion.

In July 2013, John and his wife, Ann Mansour lost their children, Alexander, and Gabrielle, in a tragic boating accident. In the months that followed, their surviving daughter, Adriana was in the hospital fighting for her life. During this imaginable time, John and Ann were led by prayers and support of their community, especially priests and seminarians.

In their children’s memory, the Mansours established a foundation benefiting the Chaldean Seminarian Fund. John served the community by helping ensure seminarians had the resources they needed to answer their call to priesthood.

Through his involvement in Grieving with Faith & Hope and his personal journey of loss, John became a source of comfort, faith, and hope to many.

On September 17, 2025, John passed away after a courageous battle with cancer.

His legacy continues through these missions and in the dedication of those who support them.

Proceeds from this event will support several impactful initiatives, including:

–CCF’s attainable housing projects

-CCF programming

-CCF’s ongoing advocacy efforts for ethnic and religious minorities in the Middle East

-CCF Endowment Fund
