Ladies, grab your biggest and best hat. Gentlemen, grab your best Derby attire. Let’s all get together for a little Derby-themed fun to benefit research for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.
Join the Muscular Dystrophy Association on Saturday, May1, 2010 at the Matt Jones Gallery in Birmingham for it’s 2nd annual Derby for Duchenne event. The event and silent auction will help generate funds directly benefiting research for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.
