The summer fundraising season is upon us, and many NNPDF families are pulling out all the stops to raise awareness and funds for the fight against Niemann-Pick Disease.
Of course, many of our families do fundraising year-round, but the warmer weather lends itself to many types of outdoor fundraisers that bring out the crowds looking for something fun to do while supporting a worthy cause.
This Saturday, June 19, golfers will compete in the Alex and Laura Vaughan Memorial Golf Tournament in Durham, Ontario, to benefit the Canadian Chapter of the NNPDF. Next Friday, June 25, an Evening of Jazz in Vaughan, Ontario, will benefit the Life for Luke (Liegghio) Foundation.
The weekend of June 26-27 will see four events benefitting the NNPDF. Saturday, June 26, is the date for this year's Hanover (Massachusetts) 5K Road Race in memory of Erin Roberts, as well as the Golf "FORE" Stacey (Vorpahl) Memorial Classic event in Cold Spring, Wisconsin.
On Sunday, June 27, the Perugini family will host the Marcello and Matthew Perugini Memorial Walk (Waterbury, Connecticut), and Annie OConnor-Smith's husband, Mike, will compete in the Ironman Triathlon in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho.
Thank you to all our NNPDF families, friends and supporters, who organize, donate and participate in these events to raise funding for essential research and to provide all-important family support services!
More events are scheduled around the nation for the coming weeks. Visit the NNPDF Web site's Upcoming Events page for all the details.
One final note -- as many are celebrating graduations around the country, the Naugatuck, Connecticut, High School lovingly dedicated their 2010 yearbook to the memory of Bryanna DeSouza (NPC), who would have graduated this year. Visit the NNPDF's Recent Events page for the complete posting.
