The next day, Monday, October 9th, 2023, The Foundation will host its 10th annual Golf Outing, which is sold out. This is a particular year for several reasons, as it marks ten years of providing financial assistance to those fighting malignant brain tumors; additionally, the number 10 is especially important to the DDF community because Darren Daulton wore it during his time playing for the Philadelphia Phillies!
In 2013, after being diagnosed with Glioblastoma (GBM), an aggressive form of brain cancer, rather than giving in to the disease, Darren sought to help others by forming The Darren Daulton Foundation with his wife Amanda. After a courageous battle, Darren passed away on August 6th, 2017; however, his spirit lives on through this foundation committed to providing financial assistance to those suffering from primary malignant brain tumors. The Darren Daulton Foundation supports those affected by this devastating disease while raising awareness about brain cancer.
