Hager & Dowling Foundation Grant

Last December we were stunned to learn a local law firm, Hager & Dowling, was considering the Gwendolyn Strong Foundation as a recipient of one of their yearly charitable grants through the Hager & Dowling Foundation. Our dear friend and GSF board member, Daalia Reynolds, was invited to present our cause to the Hager & Dowling Foundation committee. She clearly wowed them because last week we were invited to attend a luncheon with the Foundation committee to accept our grant check for a whopping $7,000! -- their largest contribution this year! We were absolutely thrilled to be selected and honored the committee wants to fight SMA with us!

We had a wonderful time at the luncheon. Everyone was so kind and thoughtful. Gwendolyn went with us and she was as good as gold -- listening intently to Daddy's speech, waving hello and goodbye, and showing all the nice lawyers her pony. And she was very impressed with the gigantic super-sized check -- as were we!!!

Thank you so very much Hager & Dowling Foundation for this generous donation and for joining the fight to end SMA. We'd like to also specifically thank Chad and Carolyn Slack for believing in what we are doing and introducing Hager & Dowling to our cause. And we'd like to thank Daalia Reynolds for so eloquently presenting our mission to the foundation committee and being as passionate about curing this cruel disease as we are.
