June is National Cancer Survivor Month!

The BMF was thrilled to have so many of our survivors participate
in the Game of Hope at the Altoona Curve on June 7, 2018.
For more information and pictures, head over to the
Brian Morden Foundation page on Facebook.

June's BMF CARES Spotlight*
is
Dominick DeVecchis!

Dominick DeVecchis, son of Steve and Kim DeVecchis is currently an elementary student in Hollidaysburg. In March of 2014 Dominick was diagnosed with a rare form of childhood cancer called Osteosarcoma. He was 6 years old.

 

*At our annual board meeting on Brian's birthday (1/10/18),
the BMF Board created BMF CARES Spotlight, a program that hopes to shine a light on our
Children with Cancer, Raise Awareness, and Provide Funds for Research, Education, and Support for children with cancer and their families.

Each month a local child with cancer will be in the spotlight. The Brian Morden Foundation will provide information about that child as well as the type of childhood cancer with which they were diagnosed. Families may suggest an organization or individual researcher to whom they’d like the BMF to send a $1000 donation in honor of their child for the purpose of research or support to children with cancer and their families.

You can find more information about our children at the BMF CARES Spotlight page.

For more information or to donate to the Brian Morden Foundation, please contact Dawn Morden, president of the BMF at dbjmorden@brianmordenfoundation.org or 814-946-9369. Contributions may also be made at the Central Pennsylvania Community Foundation or here on the BMF website at http://brianmordenfoundation.org/support.html.
