Florence, Kentucky
Team Sarcoma / Swinging for Sarcoma in Florence, Kentucky, was a huge success. July in Kentucky is typically 90+ degrees with extreme high humidity, but Saturday was a cool, overcast 72 degrees. It was perfect golf weather, and perfect for David, the co-host, who is currently undergoing chemotherapy for his 6th sarcoma reccurrence. Luckily, because of Saturday’s ideal weather blessing, David was able to join in the fun. It was a true treat to have him along to see the event become the success he hoped it would be. Success indeed it was!!!
We had 144 golfers attend and 30 more people join for dinner afterward. To date, our event raised $5,612.22!!! Everyone who attended was presented with a “Sarcoma Knows No Borders” bracelet, a Team Sarcoma tri-fold pamphlet, and luminaries to light each evening this week in honor of sarcoma patients, caregivers and those who we have lost to this horrific cancer.
This was a day full of love, support and an overwhelming feeling of pride. David and I look forward to making this an annual event as we have the Global Luminary event. Thanks to those who participated!!! We are truly honored to be a part of Team Sarcoma.

UPDATE: About 200 people lit candles in the International Luminary Event throughout International Sarcoma Awareness Week.
Everyone around the world is invited to participate in this very special event. As a part of Team Sarcoma, David and Amy Dearinger of Independence, Kentucky, will send a luminary to your home to light each evening of International Sarcoma Awareness Week.
This will be the second year the Dearinger’s have hosted such an event. In 2008 this event not only raised $1,440.00 for research funding, but it also brought much needed awareness to this underfunded and extremely rare, aggressive cancer. The luminaries are lit in memory of those we have lost to sarcoma, and in honor of those battling this horrific cancer, as well as their caregivers.
If you would like to participate in this event, simply email the Dearingers with your request. Dave and Amy will gladly send each member of your family a luminary to illuminate each evening of this very special week. All they ask is that you make a donation direct to The Liddy Shriver Sarcoma Initiative. Every cent counts and there isn’t any donation too small or too large.
