The Sixth Annual Northwest Sarcoma Foundation DRAGONSLAYER Bike, Hike and Trike event was held on Saturday, April 24th at Green Lake Park in Seattle. Over 600 people participated in this year's event which was held to honor sarcoma patients and their families. Over $55,000 was raised which will support the programs the Foundation offers and grow the research fund. The event was a huge success and we would like to thank everyone who contributed.

Christina Goode, Chelsey's sister, and Kelli Schroeder, Chelsey's best friend, organized the "Pretty in Pink Walk" in Ferndale to raise money for the Northwest Sarcoma Foundation in honor of Chelsey. Over 250 people participated in the walk and played a part in helping raise $10,144.44, which was presented to Dr. "Chappie" Conrad and the Northwest Sarcoma Foundation at the DRAGONSLAYER event. Thank you Team Pretty in Pink for this amazing fundraising effort!
Team Jenna took home the Largest Team Award, and Team Sawicki received the Spirit Award.
