Last year, six-year-old Stafford resident Dominic Beltran passed away after a long battle with neuroblastoma, and his family has decided to honor him and support funding for pediatric cancer research by hosting a second fundraiser, ‘Dining to Dominate Cancer’ today in Stafford.
The first ‘Strong for Dom’ event helped the family to raise funds for their son’s medical expenses, and this year they will continue to raise funds to help other children in need.
“Pediatric cancer is vastly underfunded, and most people don’t even know what the gold ribbon stands for. So we want to change that – raise awareness – and raise much needed funds,” said Margaret Beltran, Dominic’s mother and President of the Strong for Dom Foundation.
The fundraiser will take place from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. at the Mainstreet Grill and Bar in North Stafford, where the proceeds from diner’s meals will go towards pediatric cancer research.
The Strong for Dom Foundation will be selling t-shirts at the event, along with a 50/50 raffle, as well as a video slideshow with photos as a tribute to Dominic.
