Dear Potential Sponsors and Supporters,

Meet Super Drew, our 8.5 year-old little boy, who is full of life, always happy, and is the strongest, most resilient kid you will ever meet. Underneath his contagious smile and gentle demeanor is a child with Pilomyxoid Astrocytoma, an inoperable brain tumor. Drew has been battling this tumor since he was 9 months old and has been on multiple treatments. Throughout Drew’s ups and downs there is something he is always willing to show us, his bravery, resilience, and contagious smile.

This last year has brought challenges including a new chemotherapy that was very difficult on his body as well as 2 surgeries on his shunt. However, we are happy to report that currently he is not on any chemotherapy and we are enjoying summer as a family!

The mission of the Super Drew Foundation is to provide families battling pediatric cancer with services and local experiences that allow families to feel normal in an abnormal situation. In addition, we are able to help local charities provide opportunities for these children. The past year despite the difficulties Drew endured we were able to provide birthday parties to children, adopt 15 families for the Holiday season, grant 2 oncology children wish trips in addition to helping other local foundations that help pediatric oncology families. Our goals for the coming year include adopting more families for the holidays, finding more ways to give to these oncology families, and granting more wish trips.

The 6th annual super Drew family extravaganza will be held September 21st from 12-4pm at St. Lawrence K of C Park in Shelby Township. It will be a day filled with fun, laughter, entertainment, food and activities for the whole family.

We hope you will consider joining us and partnering with us on this event.

Thank you kindly and God Bless,

Andrew and Melissa Akash
