DCO's Birthday Bash

As displayed on the slide show, Drive Cancer Out had a fantastic time celebrating our first birthday at Saints in St. Matthews. We were honored by the benevolence of Coach Denny Crum and his lovely wife Susan. Guests included a multitude of Denny's former players including Darryl Griffith, LaBradford Smith, Lancaster Gordon, Scooter McCray,Ellis Miles and Robbie Valentine.
Kids of all ages got all the autographs they would ever want from this group of stars.
I'm particularly proud that these University of Louisville greats graced our gathering because they have a long history of benfiting our community. We hope to follow in their footsteps of societal improvement.
Great thanks go out to my dear friend Teresa Lowrey for bringing the University presence to the gathering. David Bard, Maryam Rahman, and Tammy Muncy organized the event. Bonnie Koontz produced the video that recreates very clearly our activities in the schools and at events. Her husband Dr. Bill Koontz shot photos of all and caught the action as displayed in the slide show. Special thanks to Nancy and Sam Alvey for helping distribute Tee shirts. As always Margot French is the axle around which DCO revolves keeping all in the loop. The North End Cafe provided the food and
Tyco Health Care through Frank Kelsey sponsored the good eatin'.
Once again special and enduring thanks to Coach and Susan Crum, and all their former players. We greatly appreciate those who support our efforts to keep our youth healthy, strong and well educated as we strive for a bright future for Kentucky.
