Family Tent: 

  • Sponsored by the Johansen Family: Live Like Dave…Strong and Courageous!

The tent serves as a place of respite, offering food, coffee and friendship to those whom melanoma has touched. A special thank you to committee chairs, Kim and Mike Drell, Tia Simon, Susan Johansen and Rhoda and Meredith Spohn for their welcoming and heartfelt touches inside and out.
