Because of Bubba: Cure Rhabdomyosarcoma

Because of Bubba: Cure Rhabdomyosarcoma The William Dean Brakefield Foundation Only 350-450 new cases are diagnosed per year out of all cancer cases. That makes researching limited.

We began this Foundation as a way to not only remember our beloved Bubba, but also as a way to help raise awareness and money to hopefully help advance the research for Rhabdomyosarcoma. Please, if you are not familiar with Rhabdo, do a quick search and see for yourself the prognosis of this terrible cancer and then help US make a difference!

In a little over 6 weeks I (Linda) head to Houston in hopes to hand deliver a donation check to the MD Anderson Rhabdomyosarcoma research team! Please Please Please help me make that happen!! Every single dollar helps. Just 1 singular $ means the world to me and my team! We Accept Venmo, PayPal, cash, & checks.

We still have the yellow rubber bracelets for sale for $2 each and the ribbon earrings for $8 a pair. We can also reopen the shirt orders if anyone else would like to order more shirts/sweatshirts/hats.

I am also working on some more ideas for fundraising ideas. If you would like to help in any way please let me know!

Thank you so much to anyone and everyone who has and will help make my goals come to a reality and help keep our Bubbas memory alive!

Hello everyone! I will have the opportunity to go to MD Anderson in person on April 1st and would LOVE to be able to take our very 1st check to donate to the research team for Rhabdomyosarcoma. In doing so we need a fundraising push-BIG TIME. I don’t want to carry them $100. I want to make it worth my time and theirs. So….please consider helping in one of the filling ways between now and then.
1. Buy one of our rubber bracelets. They are only $2 each and I can ship them for a fee.
2. Buy a pair of our yellow ribbon earrings for $8.00 a pair. Same thing, I can ship for a fee.
3. Donate via check made out to our foundation and mailed to us.
4. Donate via PayPal or Venmo
5. Go to any Founders Federal Credit Union and tell them you want to make a deposit into our foundation account.
6. Start keeping your loose change for us. I don’t mind collecting it and rolling it. Pennies add up😁

Every single dollar helps so much. If you have just 1 single dollar to spare and want to make a difference that is a blessing to us.

Also, word of mouth is such an amazing way to spread the word about what we are trying to do. Please share our page, foundation and posts. Make sure everyone is aware of what we are trying to do and help us keep Bubbas memory alive!

I’ve been a little MIA and I’m truly sorry. This is a rough time of year for me. Today especially! I’m trying to make this a better day though, like Bubba would have wanted. So, on this day, as we mark 19 years on Earth without him, let’s all do something to make someone else smile! Pay for the person behind you in lines coffee, hold a door open for someone, let an extra car turn in all that traffic, any sort of kind gesture you can think of. We never know what someone is fighting-what has them sad or having to overcome. Just 1 little trivial thing can make a huge impact on a person and help them feel like at least 1 person was kind today!

You can also make a $1-$5 donation to our VENMO account today to help us raise funds to donate to Rhabdomyosarcoma research! The link is posted below.
