Event attendees have the opportunity to become individual or corporate sponsors to help make Debbie's Dream of curing stomach cancer a reality.

The event co-chairs include Suzanne Morrell and Steven Marks, DDF Board Member.

"I was so excited with the event's success last year and I think this year it will be even bigger and better," said Debbie Zelman, president and founder of Debbie's Dream Foundation. "

Debbie Zelman founded the organization in 2009 after being diagnosed with stage IV stomach cancer. Debbie's Dream Foundation seeks as its ultimate goal to bring attention and action to this important cause. The organization encourages people to spread the word about early detection and screening because if someone is diagnosed at an early stage, the chances of being cured dramatically increase.
