A Brief Message brought to you by the Osteosarcoma Institute on this Giving Day!

Our mission is to cure Osteosarcoma. With that said, we need a breakthrough.

The doctors, researchers and advocates who make up the Osteosarcoma Institute have all experienced the devastation of osteosarcoma firsthand through their work, families, and friends. Treatments for this disease have not progressed since the 1970s.

Please consider supporting the Osteosarcoma Institute this Giving Tuesday to help us dramatically improve the outcomes for relapsed and metastatic Osteosarcoma Patients. Link: https://osinst.org/donate/

With Love 💙,
QuadW Foundation

•••••
The Partners Council of Owenwood Farm & Neighbor Space & the Leadership Team of White Rock United Methodist Church are excited to announce that we have received a 3-year grant from the QuadW Foundation to further our work in Far East Dallas.
The QuadW Missional Interns have partnered for the last four years with White Rock UMC, working with youth and families in the Owenwood community. QuadW supports the efforts to develop a full-service campus addressing the causes/effects of poverty in the 75228 ZIP code of Far East Dallas in four key service gaps: recreation, education, food and medical deserts.
The $250,000 per year grant will jumpstart our renovations so that our incredible community partners: Hope Supply Co., Diapers, Etc., White Rock Community Church, Dallas United Crew, Simple Church, North Texas Food Bank, Aberg Center for Literacy, Linden Grove Theatre Co., Grow North Texas, and Ferguson Road Initiative can continue their programs and expand services for our neighbors. This grant will also help us realize our dream of new partnerships to create programs for our senior neighbors, a large community garden, as well as after-school programming for the students of Conner Elementary.
We thank the QuadW Foundation Board for making the Owenwood Farm & Neighbor Space and Far East Dallas a part of Willie’s legacy.

2019 ASCO Highlights

What a solid trip to Chicago for the Annual ASCO (American Society of Clinical Oncology) meeting. We covered a lot of bases! Played Where's Waldo with our logo around the convention center (NICE!), got to meet our 2019 Conquer Cancer Foundation Young Investigator, Michael Kinnaman (now you're stuck with us!) who's at Memorial Sloan Kettering and being mentored by pal, Paul Meyers, took meetings and obligatory photos with our friends and brains pushing provocative research, and spent some quality time checking in with everyone. Every year, we look forward to our check-ins and discoveries with our Sarcoma community. We couldn't be more grateful for these folks. Michael sent QuadW a letter after our introduction at ASCO, and his words are the best reminder of why we can't and won't stop! WELCOME TO OUR WILD & KOOKY KREW! We love all of you!

Visiting UT Campus and our scholarship recipients

QuadW made a pit stop at UT Campus to meet with the Plan II Director, Alexandra K. Wettlaufer AND we got to visit with two of our scholarship recipients, Sarah Grant and Daisy Johnston! We learned that Daisy studied abroad in Denmark and plans to take her studies to Edinburgh next! Sarah is headed off to Italy this summer! And is Etrieu a college student again? She blends right in. HOOK EM! 🤘🏽
