Cure Duchenne is having a Golf Ball Drop (Drop for Duchenne) and Fall Festival to support Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) research and education.  We are families active in Pennsylvania because we have a son, relative or friend that has been diagnosed with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy and have chosen to take a stand in the fight against DMD.

Numbered golf balls are being sold in advance of the event for $10.00 each. At 4:00pm all 2,000 balls will be lifted into the air and positioned over a whole in one and dropped.  The first ball that lands in or closest to the hole wins first prize of $1,000.00.  Should there be more than one ball that is closest to the hole the prize will be shared.  Second prize will be $500.00, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh prizes will be $100.00 each.

There will be crafters/vendors, food and refreshments by the Milford Township Fire Company and the Quakertown Airport Café, Live Music and a DJ (come out between 1 – 3 for some Country Line Dancing), Antique Airplane Exhibit, Games for the kids, tons of Raffle Items, Face Painting and scarecrow making and pumpkin decorating contests with prizes.

AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST THE GOLF BALL DROP TO TOP OFF THE EVENT!!!!!!!!!

CureDuchenne is fighting for the lives of the 1 in every 3500 boys who are stricken with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. Most of these boys will not live past their teens. Their muscle cells will die and won't regenerate. It can happen in any family. But finally, thanks to recent scientific breakthroughs, THERE IS HOPE!

CureDuchenne is a not-for-profit organization founded by Corona del Mar (California) parents of a Duchenne boy. Unlike other organizations that simply fund research, CureDuchenne demands more. They are fighting to bring the most promising research out of the labs and into clinical trials that can save THIS generation of Duchenne boys. YOU can help us bring lifesaving treatments to market and give them a chance for a life.
