Bingo Fundraiser for Patient Advocacy Groups!

Hello Deciphera Colleagues!

Join us in celebrating Sarcoma Awareness Month and GIST Awareness Day on July 13, 2023.

As part of the broader sarcoma awareness month activities, the CORE team and the Sarcoma Awareness Working Group will be hosting a Bingo game at the next All Hands Meeting. Our goal is to raise $4500 to contribute to 3 patient advocacy groups: Life Raft Group (LRG), Sarcoma Alliance and GIST Support International (GSI).

At Deciphera, our PATHS values start with Patients. This July let’s help GIST patients directly by contributing to these meaningful organizations. Your participation and contributions are completely voluntary.

Here’s how you can get involved:

In addition to our social media awareness and education, we set up this GoFundMe page to collect all donations. You will have the option to donate any amount or purchase a BINGO Card. We will be selling up to 300 BINGO cards in total. 100 yellow cards, 100 blue cards, and 100 purple cards. Each BINGO card will be $15 (Max purchase of 3 cards per person).

Once the donation is made, please forward your GoFundMe transaction receipt to Layllah Duarte at Deciphera. We will reply to your forwarded confirmation receipt with your downloadable (pdf) bingo card(s) depending on how many you purchase. We will play 3 rounds each being a color (Blue, Yellow, and Purple). The deadline to purchase Bingo cards is EOD July 12! Then, print your BINGO card(s) and get ready to play our live SAM BINGO Game at the All Hands Meeting on July 13, 2023 – GIST Awareness Day!

Thank you for your support. We are very excited to host this Bingo fundraiser and look forward to gathering donations for the 3 Sarcoma/GIST patient advocacy groups.

Communication will go out via email upon our return from the Summer shutdown to give an update on our goal and what to expect (Rules & How to Play) at our Bingo Fundraiser during the AHM! Start practicing your "BINGO voice" over break and see you soon!

Cheers,

CORE Team: Sarcoma/GIST Working Group
