A special Thank you...

A special thank you from the DJD Fight On Foundation to everyone who gave Christmas donations to the Robbins family. Your generosity helped make the holidays a little brighter for the family. I wish I could send everyone a personal thank you card, but unfortunately too many gifts were left anonomously. Everyone at the DJD Fight On Foundation wants you to know we truly appreciate your continued selfless giving in order to help a family you don't even know. You can see a picture of the Robbins family at www.djdfighton.org

Another big thank you to Mr. and Mrs. Zvorsky, who generously donated money to the Foundation in lieu of favors at their recent wedding! Thank you so much, and we wish you many years of happiness!

We also want to thank everyone for all the support, donations, and volunteer efforts during the 2011 year. Thanks to your generosity and support, the DJD Fight On Foundation has given more than $70,000 to families battling cancer, and continued Derrick's legacy. We look forward to a successful 2012, and hope to continue Derrick's mission. We wish all of you a happy, safe, and blessed 2012~

Thank you

Today marks the 3rd anniversary of Derrick's passing and I can't say that Derrick's family or I do not miss him terribly, but we could have never imagined the outpouring of support for the DJD Fight On Foundation in rememberance of Derrick.All of you who knew Derrick, knew what kind of man he was. The number of families that have been helped becasue of Derrick is a true testament to how inspiring of an individual he was. Thank you to everyone who helps conitnue Derrick's mission and helps his legacy live on! We all are blessed to have our lives touched by such a man, who looked at adversity, and instead of feeling sorry for himself, asked how he could help others who were less fortunate than him. Thank you Derrick for reminding us what is important in life- to be grateful for what we have, and to give back when we can. Your memory lives on, and you will forever remind us not to sweat the small stuff. We love you~

New Families

Everyone at the DJD Fight On Foundation want to thank all our supporters and volunteers for allowing us to keep helping local families battling cancer. Check out www.djdfighton.org for recent pictures and letters of families helped. Two new families will be added soon! With the most recent families helped, Derrick's Foundation has donated $70,200, to families battling cancer. Without the help and support of all of you NONE of this would be possible.

The newest family helped is the Robbin's family. The father Curtis Robbins (32) was recently diagnosed with a brain tumor and he was the primary financial supporter for his wife and 4 boys ( Curtis III- age 11, Trey- age 9, Landon- age 3, and Declan- 5months). The DJD Fight On Foundation is asking for support and donations for this family for Christmas. We would love any and all support we can get for this family :) Here are a few ideas- Curtis wears size 16 and Trey wears says 14 or 12 husky. Both of these older boys like K'nex and Legos. Landon wears size 3T and likes anything in his age group or preschool,and Declan wears size 12 months and liek anything in his age grou pand musical noise makers. The family also likes the following movies: Transformers 3, Harry Potter, Mars needs Moms, Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Zoolander, Harry Potter, and Gnomeo and Juliet. Any non perishable food items or gift certificates for Walmart or Weis would be great too!
* If your interested in getting an item, leave a comment, so more than one person does not get the same thing! Thanks so much! Happy Holidays!

Happy Birthday

Tomorrow is Derrick's 26th birthday, Happy Birthday Derrick! Let's celebrate the day by taking some time to recall a happy, inspirational, or just plain silly memory that you experienced with him. If you'd like to share, that would be great! Thank you, Derrick, for teaching us how to love deeply and cherish each and every day. Your smile is forever ingrained in our hearts and minds. We love you and miss you!
