The Golf Outing
is named in memory of beautiful 13-year-old Danielle Boyko of Middletown, who
passed away this past June after a courageous battle with childhood
leukemia. The Danielle Boyko Memorial Golf Outing is Chaired by Danielle’s uncle,
Robert DiGenova of Red Bank, and will be held at Sun Eagles Golf Club in Tinton
Falls. Make Some Noise is truly honored
to be able to help perpetuate Danielle’s memory and hopes more golfers will
come out and support Danielle’s family as they help raise awareness and
critical cure research funding for childhood cancers in her name.

The evening’s Rockin’ for the Gold
dinner/auction, to be held at Gibbs Hall in Tinton Falls, is Chaired by
Michelle Borriello of West Long Branch, Gerri Grena-Daneman of Little Silver,
and Paul Buerck of Wayside. The
evening’s guest speaker is an inspiring college student, Navid Attayan, who
started ProJeKT 3000 to cycle across the United States this past summer to
raise awareness for pediatric cancer. He
lost a friend to cancer and felt compelled to step up and help make a
difference. The event features dinner,
auction, cocktail hour entertainment by the Liam Boyce Jazz Ensemble, and the
evening’s featured live entertainment by local talent: Goldenseal, (www.goldensealtheband.com), who have generously donated their talents to
help make some noise for kids cancer.

Last year’s Rockin’ event sold out at 350 guests, and was a fabulous
success. Help make some noise for kids’
cancer; it is rampant among our kids in Monmouth County and we need to find the
cures. Grab a foursome and hit the
links, or put on your comfy shoes and dance the night away for a very important
cause… our children. Get your tickets
now!

In the United
States, a child is diagnosed with cancer every 40 minutes. 1 in every 320 children is diagnosed with
childhood cancer before their 21st birthday. To put it into perspective, we lose as many
children to cancer each year as the number of people we lost on 9-11; that is
30,000 US children lost since that fateful day.
Yet pediatric cancer only receives a meager 3% of all funding directed
to cancer research, and that 3% has to be divided among more than a dozen
different childhood cancers.

About Danielle Boyko- in her parent’s words:

It was a summer
like every other summer...playing with friends and family, trips to the beach,
arts and crafts, sporting activities and quality family time, and then back to
school to begin 7th grade. Several weeks later our world turned upside down as
Dani was diagnosed with ALL Leukemia. We soon learned more about this cancer
then we ever thought possible. With the help of family and friends we were
forced to make some important decisions and have some very difficult
conversations, none more difficult then explaining to Danielle, (and her
brother Richie), that she had cancer and that we were going to help her fight
this. With the support of our family, friends, community and "Team
Dani" we aggressively attacked the cancer with rounds of chemo and
eventually a bone marrow transplant over a year later.

Through it all,
Danielle showed a grace and determination that never wavered. There were many
days that she did not feel well because of the treatments that she was
receiving but anytime we would ask her how she was feeling her response was always
the same, "I'm good." We
quickly learned that she never wanted us or her family and friends to feel bad.
As difficult as this experience is for parents, family and friends, if you
spent any time with Dani you would always leave inspired by her strength,
determination, and courage. She was truly an inspiration to all. Shortly before Mother's Day this year, our
worst fears were imagined, the cancer had returned. We discussed our options
and decided with Dani to fight this in spite of the long odds and the likely
side effects. If anyone can beat this we believed that our Dani Girl would be
able to. Sadly, on June 21st Dani passed away in our arms, but not before
finding the strength to have one last night of talking, story-telling,
snuggling, and laughter with our family.

About the Make
Some Noise Foundation

An 11-year-old NJ
child with cancer established the Make Some Noise: Cure Kids Cancer Foundation
in the fall of 2009 with one purpose in mind: to fund pediatric cancer
research. The foundation secures private funding to distribute to research
facilities and promotes awareness of pediatric cancers. The foundation has
raised $1.1M and funded research labs across the country including Harvard’s
Dana-Farber Institute, Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, Seattle Children’s
Research Center, Baylor Texas Children’s Cancer Center, Children’s Medical
Center of Dallas, Children’s Hospital of Colorado, Weill-Cornell, and Lombardi
Cancer Institute at Georgetown. Make Some Noise was selected as a Top 3
Finalist for “Best New Charity” in the 2011 Classy Awards in San Diego in
September 2011, and recognized in 2012 as Top Rated Non-Profit by Great
Non-Profits. Make Some Noise has
welcomed a rapidly growing family, and now boasts additional chapters in
Colorado, Washington, Massachusetts, and Western New York State. This summer, Make Some Noise took to the
highways, travelling 4,000 miles through the heartland, and reaching over 4M
with the story of childhood cancer through their 2013 Summer Tour of the
National Angel Quilt for Childhood Cancer.

About the
Child-Founder

14-year-old
Malcolm Sutherland-Foggio has been battling pediatric cancer and the subsequent
side effects since the late fall of 2008. At the age of 10, he was officially
diagnosed with Ewing's Sarcoma, a highly aggressive and malignant bone tumor.
While enduring 14 rounds of chemotherapy, surgery to remove his hip,
rehabilitation, and keeping up with his schoolwork, Malcolm realized that he
saw no awareness for pediatric cancer, and learned that only 3% of cancer
research funds are directed to childhood cancers. He began publicly speaking
out and raising funds through the sale of wristbands. He quickly decided that to really "make
some noise," he needed to expand and his dream to incorporate a national
foundation was born. To learn about Malcolm's journey in his own words, please
click here to view a short video. He has corporate headquarters in New
Jersey, chapters in Boston, Denver, Upstate NY, and Washington State, with more
in the works. Malcolm was recognized as
a “NJ Hero” by NJ’s First Lady, Mary Pat Christie, in January 2012. He has a
book coming out this winter.

Childhood Cancer Facts:

- A child in the US has a 1 in 320 chance of being diagnosed with
cancer before their 21st birthday.

-80% of kids’ cancers have
already metastasized by the time of diagnosis.

-Every school day, two
classrooms full of children are diagnosed with cancer, seven of them will die.

-Over a 10 year period, we lose
20-30,000 to cancer in this country alone-- a million worldwide.

-Many pediatric cancers have
treatment protocols which are 20 - 30 years old.

-Just 3% of cancer research
funding goes to pediatric cancer.

-75% of children who survive
face long term side effects from the treatments they received as growing
kids. We are not supposed to amputate,
poison, and radiate growing kids!

-Unlike many adult cancers,
there is no early detection or screening for childhood cancer.
