About:
Special thanks to girls VB program who “Went Gold” for Childhood Cancer on Friday night. Special shout out to Sachem East GVB for taking part with us! They raised over $600 to be donated to www.danielacontefoundation.org
The Daniela Conte Foundation is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization founded in 2020 by Daniela’s parents, Anthony and Katia Conte to honor the life of their oldest daughter Daniela, who passed away from Rhabdomyosarcoma at the age of 8. As a family, we have experienced first hand the unbearable pain caused by losing a child to cancer. While we belong to a club that no one wants to be a part of, we continue to raise awareness, offer financial support to families affected by childhood cancer and fund childhood cancer research with a particular interest in Embryonal Rhabdomyosarcoma (ERMS). We do all of this by raising money through events like 5Ks, Galas, corporate partnerships, merchandise sales, and more.
