Guru's is located at 203 North Sycamore Street in Newtown. Parking will be available on Sycamore Street, in the adjacent lot and on surrounding streets.

One hundred percent of the proceeds will be used to support pancreatic cancer research at Penn Medicine in Philadelphia.

The average survival rate for stage IV pancreatic cancer is a little more than six months. The goal of "A Love for Life" is to change that number as it partners with the Abramson Cancer Center at the University of Pennsylvania. All donations raised by A Love for Life fund cutting edge research in Philadelphia.
