Dream for Damian

The inaugural Dream for Damian event, held on September 11th at the Flatbread Company in Canton was a huge success! We raised over $13,600 for the Smith-Magenis Syndrome Research Foundation and just as importantly, raised immeasurable awareness of this rare and complicated genetic syndrome.
