Bormann Poker and Paint Party 2016 | Myotonic Dystrophy Foundation

ANNUAL POKER AND PAINT PARTY RAISES FUNDS FOR DM

Steven and Kelly Bormann are kicked off the new year with their 2nd Annual Poker and Paint Party February 20th in Lenexa, Kansas to raise DM awareness and funds in honor of their late daughter, Anna.

The party gave friends, family and colleagues a chance to get creative in support of DM. Some painted a masterpiece, while others tested their luck and (their poker face) at the game tables. A silent auction raised additional funds.

If you couldn't join the Bormann Family Poker and Paint Party but would like to make a donation in Anna’s honor, please click here and mention the “Bormann Family Fundraiser” in the dedication section. Thank you for your support!

On behalf of Steven and Kelly Bormann, we thank you for your support!
