| Smiles for Sophie Forever 2nd Annual Birthday Bash & Dash |
|
|
| July 4, 2009 marks the 2nd annual Birthday Bash & Dash, a perfect day of the year to participate in an awesome charity event for the whole family. The event is a major fundraiser benefiting Smiles For Sophie Forever, a foundation created in memory of four-year-old Sophie Quayle, who lost her battle with brain cancer, after a valiant fight, on October 6, 2007.
Last year over 1200 walkers, runners, and children participated in the 1st Annual 5K and 1 Mile Run/Walk held on July 4, 2008, which would have been Sophie’s fifth
birthday. Over $50,000 was raised to further the Foundation’s mission.
In the past year SFSF has provided financial assistance
to families and St. Jude, and made contributions earmarked for research. Proceeds will once again support SFSF, a tax-exempt 501 (c)(3) organization dedicated to:
raising awareness of pediatric brain cancer,
funding research for its cure,
supporting St. Jude, where Sophie was treated, and
helping families affected by pediatric brain cancer.
This year our goal is to raise $75,000, and with your help, we know we can do it. We thank you in advance for your generosity, and are confident with your support we can continue to make a difference in the world of pediatric brain cancer.
Commemorate Sophie’s birthday. Celebrate our nation’s freedom. Help create freedom from pediatric brain cancer.
