Happy New Year!

Happy New Year from everyone at the DJD Fight On Foundation. It was a great, 2010 thanks to all your support and generous donations. This past year we held two 5K races, a Beef and Beer Benefit, a Biking event (thanks to a previous family we helped), and the annual golf tournament. Since last Christmas, the DJD FOundation and supporters have helped 7 families. The Foundation has now donated more than $40,000 in Derrick's memory to help families who are battling cancer. We hope that in 2011 we can continue to help those who are courageously battling this disease, and help them to ease the financial burden of a cancer diagnosis while keeping Derrick's spirit alive. A special thank you to all the businesses, individuals, and families, who have given so generously during the holiday season. Please check djdfighton.org for some pictures of Faith and Jeremy Bacon opening their gifts that were donated by some of you. It was wonderful meeting them face to face. Both Faith and Jeremy were so gratful for the support! I'd like to send a special thank you out to all the members of Board of the DJD Fight On Foundation, for their hard work throughout the past year. Thank you to the Morrissey family, the Summers family, Jim, Donna, and Marcy Dull, Casie Baker, Greta Brubker (our web master), Mike Gearhart, and all the committee members of the golf tournament. I would also like to especially thank everyone who has donated, volunteered, or supported the Foundation in any way this past year. Wishing everyone a safe, happy, and healthy New Year!
