DUNBAR PANDAS HAVE HEART!

Fundraiser for Muscular DystrophyAugust 2013

What is Muscular Dystrophy?

Muscular Dystrophy is a genetic, progressive, debilitating muscle disease.

It affects movement, breathing, and quality of life.

There are many forms of Muscular Dystrophy.

Muscular Dystrophy affects thousands in the United States alone.

There is no cure, but research is making advances in prevention and treatment.

Dr. Gentry, Ms. Wayne, and Ms. Middleton were “arrested” and taken to jail. Students bailed them out

with the money they raised for Muscular Dystrophy research.

Dunbar Elementary students and faculty who contributed $1.00 toward MD research

were allowed to wear jeans to school on Friday, August 16.

A big THANK YOU goes out to these students and faculty members pictured in

the following slides.
