Baltimore Strong
A Reunion for a Good Cause
We're inviting our friends and former colleagues from DEWALT to join us the weekend of May 10, 2025, at our upcoming Baltimore/Washington D.C. event.
This intimate gathering is an opportunity to reconnect while making a meaningful impact. Special guest Dr. John Tew will join us to share insights on glioblastoma, health, and the importance of advancing treatment options.
Since 2024, we've provided over $150,000 to glioblastoma-specific research projects and patient support initiatives globally.
Highlights from Past Events
The Freedom Tour
The Inaugural Freedom Tour took place on the weekend of September 13, 2024, with the goal to awareness of glioblastoma and raise funds for crucial research and life-saving treatments for those facing this disease. Thank you to everyone who joined us for a weekend of fun and fundraising, as we teed off for a good cause!
All proceeds raised by The Inaugural Freedom Tour are benefitting the Angels Among Us Foundation to support glioblastoma research conducted by The Preston Robert Tisch Brain Tumor Center at Duke University.
