What's new with QuadW
AND THE CROWD GOES WILD!
Welcome our Young Investigators, Doc. Adam Durbin (ASCO Conquer Cancer Foundation) and Doc. Lily Guenther (AACR Scholar In-Training) to our QuadW litter! Both Adam and Lily will conduct their studies at the Dana Farber Institute in Boston. Adam will conduct his study focusing on rhabdomyosarcoma, and Lily in Ewing's sarcoma. QuadW secret handshake y'all?
Give a warm welcome to Miss Karen Chen, our 2018 Willie Tichenor Arts Scholarship Awardee! Karen was president of the Young Democrats at HP, she's always had a love for the arts, and is attending Stanford University to pursue a degree in computer science art and pre-med. Ain't that something!? Hip Hip Hooray! :)
"Honored to share about QuadW Foundation and the new Osteosarcoma Institute at the MIB Agents conference in Miami. I’m so inspired by the advocates, clinicians, researchers and families who are committed to making it better for Osteosarcoma patients!!" -Mary Katherine Vigness Clarke
We are proud of you, MK! You're a QUADW ALL-STAR and BOSS! Both inspired and inspiring!

Hello Friends!
The QuadW Foundation recently took a trip to the Connective Tissue Oncology Society annual meeting in Maui. We have returned with the most exciting news! Here's a montage of our trip (click to watch). While we're proud of the work we've done over the past 11 years as QuadW, if Willie were diagnosed today, he would likely have the same outcome. After many conversations within the foundation and amongst our friends in the field, it is with much pleasure to ANNOUNCE our love and support for the launch of the Osteosarcoma Institute. With much gratitude, we want to give a shout out to the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation - MMRF for their supporting in helping us devise our strategy and operationalizing the institute.
Please take a peek at the website and show your support by liking the OSI facebook page.
Here's the press release:

Willie wanted to spread love and give love all over. Mission work was a huge part of his identity. His love is infectious and continues to spread across the nation with the QuadW Missional Internship. We are seeing the vision of Don Woolley--Director of QuadWMI--come to life and could not be more excited to back the expansion of the program.

Thank you so much, Lacy Klosterman Rohre for directing this generous donation to QuadW Foundation. We gratefully receive it as we embark on some exciting new directions in our work. Willie loved you guys (and would really think it was so cool that you work for EA!)

QuadW Foundation is so proud to see these three areas of mission through--Sarcoma Research, Transformational Mission Work, and Higher Education. Thanks everyone, for the continuous love and support. Happy Monday! :)
