DSFG has teamed up with A.I. duPont Hospital for Children to provide Care Bags for patients and their families so they can focus on helping their child recover. When children are admitted to the Nemours’ Pediatric Intensive Care Unit, they are far away from what feels like home. Patients and their families are bound to the hospital for days and weeks without even the basics. These Care Bags will be filled with toiletries, personal care items, snacks, and so much more. The mission of our Care Bags is to provide an additional layer of support to families so they can focus on their child. We are very pleased to have raised over $13,000 which will provide comfort to these families.
We were definitely Inspired, Educated, and Entertained at DSFG’s 2nd Symposium. Our speakers included Vince Papale (Eagles Football Player), Daniel Eliot (National Cyber Security Alliance), and Peter Gross (Entertainer/Magician). Thanks to Vince Papale, we were delighted to make a donation to his son’s favorite charity, The B+ Foundation – Kids Helping Kids Fight Cancer. DSFG has raised nearly $10,000 for this organization which provides financial and emotional support to families of children with cancer nationwide. The B+ Foundation also funds critical cutting-edge childhood cancer research. We are proud to have joined this cause and help make a difference.
