Last Friday Jean Smart, Emmy Award winning Actress, accepted a board member position with CEF. Her sister is a glioblastoma brain cancer survivor. We are thrilled to have her as part of our leadership team!
Jean is attending our Gray Ribbon Gala, Friday, October 2nd with her family. Ten Smarts in one room. This is the first time she will speak publicly about how glioblastoma has impacted her family.
I just read Jean’s statement about the Chris Elliott Fund. It’s heartfelt and her insight about finding a cure gives me great hope! Let me paraphrase …”it’s time to bring this disease out of the dark like we do for any other life threatening disease.” She is spot on. We are so fortunate to have her involved with us as a voice for all brain tumor patients and their families.
We are just a few days away from the 8th Annual Chris Elliott Golf Classic and Gray Ribbon Gala Auction. Looks like a full house, a few spots left for golf and the Gala. This is our annual fundraiser that funds research and patient support services. Register today if you haven’t already http://www.chriselliottfund.org/content/events/oct_2nd_gray_ribbon_gala.asp See you soon!
