The family of Maddie Shura is sponsoring an apparel fundraiser to help raise money for DIPG (Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma) and finding a cure.
Now until Monday, May 6, the shirts will be open for purchase on their website. All proceeds from the fundraiser will go to the ChadTough Defeat DIPG Foundation in memory of Maddie, who was a student at B-A’s Myers Elementary when she was diagnosed with DIPG. Through her battle against the disease, which lasted 10-and-a-half months, Maddie inspired the Bellwood-Antis School District with her toughness and courage.
Maddie died on April 14, 2017.
May 17 is DIPG Awareness Day, and the family is hoping to see as many people wearing their new Maddie shirts or wearing gray and gold.
Local pickup for the shirts will take place on May 15 and 17, but there is a delivery option available through USPS during checkout. More information can be found on their website.
