6th Annual Dana G. Smith Cancer Assistance Fundraiser At SweetWater Brewing Company

The 6th Annual Dana G. Smith Cancer Assistance Fundraiser will be held at SweetWater Brewing Company on Tuesday, September 20th from 6:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. Help support the many folks struggling in their fight against cancer by attending this year’s event. Come enjoy great tunes from Doublewide and tasty food and unlimited beer. This year there will be two donation options, regular $25 or VIP $40. The VIP’s admission includes a DGS Fund t-shirt, signature souvenir pint glass, great beer and food plus a raffle ticket for a chance to win a great prize! All donations go directly to support the Dana G. Smith Fund.

The DGS Fund is named in loving memory of Dana G. Smith who lost her battle with cancer in July 2006. Before passing, Dana created the DGS Fund to help those who cannot pay their basic bills because their money is being spent on their cancer treatment. In 2010, the DGS Fund raised over $64,000 and has helped over 200 people pay their doctor and prescription co-pays, home utility and rent payments, childcare, insurance premiums, companion services, counseling and much more. As cancer treatment is expensive and insurance doesn’t always cover everything, help is needed for cancer patients struggling to pay their bills as a result of outstanding medical expenses. With help from those touched by Dana, her story and her cause, the fund has lifted weight off shoulders, elevated spirits and lengthened lives. All donations will go to Piedmont Hospital Foundations, Inc.

This will be a day to salute our veterans and soldiers, honor the lives of those lost on September 11, 2001 and celebrate the freedom we enjoy as Americans. The 5K Run/Walk starts and ends at the Ryan P. Means Legion Hut located on the South end of Chastain Park, off Powers Ferry Rd. All Proceeds will benefit American Legion Post 140, a treasured gathering place for veterans with a growing membership from those who served in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.

Ryan Means was quite a man and truly an inspiration to others. After Ryan lost his best friend on September 11th in the World Trade Center attacks, he felt he had to do something. So, Ryan enlisted in the Army as a recruit and advanced to Special Forces by the age of 32. His motto was, “Keep on rockin’ in the free world.” While serving in Iraq, Ryan was diagnosed with cancer and on July 7, 2009, Ryan passed away. While he died too young at the age of 35, Ryan fought hard and was able to be at the birth of his second daughter right before he passed.
