Hello CureDuchenne Supporters,

I'm excited to announce that we had yet another successfull event. Despite the terrible weather, Cuddle Up for the Cure 2008 went off with a bang Saturday night (February 9th).

Some of the highlights:

  • Attendance:  120 Cuddle-uppers joined us for dinner.  Another 80+
    came after dinner for the concert.  Attendance more than doubled from
    2007.
  • As of today, at least $6,500 was raised for Duchenne Muscular
    Dystrophy research.  Money raised is also up significantly from last
    year (and contributions are still coming in).
  • Our concert with The PHONES, Phil Solem and Catchpenny offered
    everything that last year's concert offered and much, much more!  It
    was quite a show.
  • Most importantly, our generous group of supporters continues to
    grow.  We have now established two strong Minnesota events.  With the
    recent press coverage, we seem to be well on our way to ensuring that
    CureDuchenne continues to have an international impact on the fight
    against Duchenne.

Happy winners of our Grand Prize Opportunity Drawing were:

  • Bowflex Extreme ($1,200) - Donated by Rob Peterson of Play It Again
    Sports, Burnsville.  Christine Jones, Anoka, MN
  • Virginia Castings Gas Grill ($599) Donated By Jeff Warner and Dan
    Thomson of Warners' Stellian.  John Applequist, Champlin, MN

My sincere thanks to all of you who braved the elements and ventured out to join us.  You made this event worthwhile and helped us get one step closer to saving the young boys who suffer from this terrible disease.
