Over the past 8 years, the New-Hope Solebury community has raised over 1.2M for Pediatric Cancer Research.
Our Story:
>>>>What began as a small community event to honor two classmates,
Ethan Toohey (forever 15) and
Robert Nagg (forever 17), who each lost their battle with pediatric cancer has turned into one of the largest St. Baldrick's events Nationwide.
Over the past 8 years, the New-Hope Solebury community has raised over 1.2M for Pediatric Cancer Research.
>>>>Over the years, our event has expanded to include cancer warriors like
Molly Worner (forever 13) and
Dominic Liples (forever 8)
. Dominic's legacy continues to live on not only in our hearts and memories, but through a
HERO fund set up through the St. Baldrick's Foundation.
100% of all Dominic's donations go towards funding research for High Grade Gliomas, some of the fastest growing, and most aggressive forms of pediatric cancers--for where there is no known cure. Brain Cancers, specifically High Grade Gliomas took the lives of our Robert, Molly and Dominic.
>>>>Since 2106 the
Pray for Dominic Hero Fund has raised over $465,985. By supporting our event, you are literally helping to save lives!
