Get Busy Living!

Daphne's Legacy, Inc. is a nonprofit organization founded in March 2014 in memory of Daphne LaRae Scruggs Fields. Daphne was diagnosed in October 2011 at the age of 32 with Triple Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC) and succumbed to the disease 2 years later in October 2013. Her family formed this organization to raise awareness of this disease and to generate funds that go directly to the research of TNBC.

 

Daphne was many things: a wife, a mother of two young sons (George and John Robert a.k.a. Boo), daughter, sister, granddaughter, niece, cousin, friend, and musician.  She touched many lives through her love for God, her beautiful smile, her love and kindness to others, her many musical talents and her courageous battle against this disease.

Her family and friends want to ensure her memory lives on and that effective treatments and ultimately a cure is found for TNBC. Daphne’s Legacy, Inc. holds fundraisers throughout the year and many times include a 5K fun run/walk, golf scramble, silent auction, dine to donate events, and a concert, as music was one of Daphne’s passions. Typically these events kickoff in April, which is Daphne’s birthday month. The proceeds from these events are then donated to organizations that fund the research of TNBC. We always specify that the funds we send to the organizations be designated for research.

Our hope is that one day there will be a cure for this horrible disease.  Until then, GET BUSY LIVING!
