Volunteers are the key to our ultimate success and we thank the 50 plus individuals who gave unselfishly of their time and talents - prior to and during the actual event - to make this event a great success.
Many new friends were connected with Dani's Foundation on Saturday night and we thank each of you who participated for being a part of our team - Dani's Team - with the goal of working toward the ultimate victory: finding the cause and the cure for Ewing's Sarcoma and the other sarcomas that are affecting children and young adults.
By working together we can make great strides in advancing treatment protocols and funding necessary research to end these terrible diseases. THANK YOU for the part that you have played in our future advancements!
