Dear Debbie/Mommy, Congratulations on the 3rd Annual Dream Big Luncheon! We can’t believe how far Debbie’s Dream Foundation has come in eight and a half years. We are so proud of everything you have accomplished. You continue to amaze us as you somehow manage to be the best wife and mother while continuing to fight stomach cancer AND organizing DDF.

Luncheon Co-Chairs’ Letter Dear Honored Guests, It is with great pleasure that we welcome you to the 3rd Annual Dream BIG Luncheon to benefit Debbie’s Dream Foundation: Curing Stomach Cancer (DDF). We are so grateful to all of you who have joined us today.

It is an honor to share this day with a fantastic group of individuals who have devoted their time and energy to make a difference in the lives of so many. Today’s event affords us the opportunity to share with you the wonderful accomplishments DDF has achieved during the past year, as well as our goals for the future. Most importantly, we hope you will enjoy an afternoon filled with friends, exciting auction items, meeting new people, and of course, celebrating Debbie’s 50th birthday!

This year’s sponsors, underwriters, and auction donors all deserve special recognition today. This continuing support has provided us with momentum as we remain steadfast in our commitment to grow.

We are sincerely grateful to all who have contributed and supported us. We would also like to thank everyone who has come together, not only today, but throughout these past eight years to help make DDF an international success. We should all be proud of the integral role we play in responding to the challenges stomach cancer patients face and know that we are making a difference.

Thank you for being a part of Debbie’s Dream Foundation: Curing Stomach Cancer. We hope you have a wonderful afternoon, and we look forward to the day when we turn Debbie’s personal dream of helping those afflicted with stomach cancer and of curing stomach cancer, a reality.

With sincere appreciation,

Linda Gendler

President & Founder’s Message Dear Friends, I am so excited to welcome you to our 3rd Annual Dream BIG Luncheon to celebrate our accomplishments as well as my 50th birthday! It has been 9½ years since I was diagnosed with stage IV stomach cancer, and I learned that my chance of being alive in five years was only 4%.

For me, every birthday is a celebration, and I am honored that you are here to celebrate with me today!

No one chooses to become a cancer patient, but regardless of what type of cancer you have or its prognosis, from the moment you are diagnosed, your life changes dramatically. For me, being diagnosed with cancer brought a deepened appreciation of family and friends. I also realized that I wanted to use whatever time was available to me to make a difference. It is, therefore, a great privilege to lead Debbie’s Dream Foundation: Curing Stomach Cancer to raise awareness about stomach cancer and ultimately improve the diagnosis and treatment of this disease.

On behalf of DDF, I can proudly say that due to your support, we are accomplishing our mission. We assist patients, families and caregivers internationally; have chapters all over the world; have authorized $650,000 in research grants; and have successfully advocated for the addition of stomach cancer to the list of cancers eligible to share in the $50 million Department of Defense research funding budget, leading the DoD to awarding almost $12 million of research grants for gastric cancer.

Thank you so much to our Luncheon Co-Chairs Linda Gendler and Sabrina Kurzman and their committee for today’s magnificent event.

Thank you to our MC Kristi Krueger, our sponsors, underwriters, donors, staff, volunteers, and all of today’s attendees. Thank you to our Board of Directors; Scientific and Medical Advisory Board; Honorary Board; and Corporate Advisory Council. By helping me celebrate today, you are helping DDF achieve its mission. I look forward to continuing to celebrate birthdays, family, friendships, health, and life together with you all.

Together we are working to make the DREAM of curing stomach cancer a reality!

With lots of love, Debbie Zelman

Programs and Services Our Mission Debbie’s Dream Foundation: Curing Stomach Cancer (DDF) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to raising awareness about stomach cancer, advancing funding for research, and providing education and support internationally to patients, families, and caregivers. DDF seeks as its ultimate goal to make the cure for stomach cancer a reality.

The Facts Stomach cancer is the third leading cause of cancer death in both sexes worldwide.

Each year nearly 950,000 people worldwide are diagnosed with stomach cancer, and approximately 700,000 die of the disease. Approximately 28,000 Americans will be diagnosed with stomach cancer each year, and over 11,000 will die each year. The overall 5-year relative survival rate for people with stomach cancer in the United States is only 28%, and the 5-year survival rate for stage IV stomach cancer is merely 4%. In the U.S., 80% of stomach cancer patients are diagnosed at stage IV.

Patient Resource Education Program (PREP) Debbie’s Dream Foundation offers many stomach cancer support services through our free Patient Resource Education Program (PREP). Upon receiving a stomach cancer diagnosis, patients, families, and caregivers complete the Resource Inquiry Form on our website to be connected to our Programs Coordinator who matches the inquirer with a mentor. The mentor is another stomach cancer patient, survivor, or caregiver. The mentors help inquirers understand the diagnosis, staging, treatment options, clinical trials, side effect management, research, and management of the disease.

Stomach Cancer Education Symposium

DDF held the first ever groundbreaking Stomach Cancer Education Symposium in May 2011 and has presented the Symposium in Florida every year since then for patients, families, caregivers and healthcare professionals. DDF holds symposia throughout the year which are all FREE and available either in-person or via live webcast internationally. Speakers from world renowned cancer centers located all over the country lecture on topics such as stomach cancer, surgical and nonsurgical options, radiation, clinical trials, genetic testing, side effect management, integrative medicine, and nutrition while on chemotherapy. Both in-person and webcast attendees ask questions of the panelists. Lectures are available on our website throughout the year in our Lecture Library under Information and Support.

These programs and services are made available for FREE as a direct result of your generous support.

Grant Recipients Debbie’s Dream Foundation has funded a total of $650,000 in research grants since 2014.

Ways To Get Involved Raise awareness about stomach cancer and funds for research.

Volunteers are needed across the country.

Here are ways you can help.

Fundraisers and Events:

Host an event or participate in an event and fundraise! No event is too big or too small. Events can range from hosting a garage sale or bowling event, to a comedy night or gala. All events will get your friends and family involved in making a difference along with you. We can also help you spread the word through the use of our social media and website event listing. To get started, simply contact us by phone or email. Debbie’s Dream Foundation: Curing Stomach Cancer (DDF) is a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit so all funds raised are tax deductible to the extent allowed by law and will help fund research, raise awareness, and educate patients.

Chapter: Start a Chapter in your state or area. Chapter Founders are resources within their region and help spread awareness, host events, and serve as the voice of their state in Washington, DC. To start a Chapter, or join an existing chapter, contact us.

Survivor Stories: How have you been impacted by this deadly disease? Tell your story to others to inspire them! Simply type up your story, and email it to us so we can share it on our website’s Survivor Story page. You can include photos of yourself and your family. Your story could change lives.

Volunteers: Here, there, or everywhere! Take some time out of your day to lend a helping hand to DDF. Volunteer at the Debbie’s Dream Foundation headquarters in South Florida or at one of our many events across the country. Volunteers can also help remotely.

To find out what volunteer opportunities are available, contact us or go to our Events page on our website.

Patient Resource Mentor: Have you survived your battle with cancer and now want to talk to others to help them through their battle? Become a Patient Resource Education Program (PREP) Mentor to help people just like you who need a little inspiration to keep fighting.

Share what you have learned with a newly diagnosed patient, family member or caregiver. Just by talking to them, you can show them that surviving is possible and help others on their journey. To become a PREP Mentor, simply contact us.
