The Marple Township Board of Commissioners read and adopted a proclamation on May 11 designating June 15, 2026 as Elora Joyce Khan Pediatric Brain Cancer Awareness Day.
The proclamation honors Elora Joyce Khan, a Newtown Square student who died of diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) in 2023, and recognizes the Elora J. Khan Foundation for its advocacy and family support work. The board encouraged residents and businesses to mark the day by lighting buildings in blue or purple as a show of support.
