FightSMA and the Toy Industry Foundation are pleased to announce Fighter Mom™ Friday, May 9, 2008. The inaugural, day-long workshop will take place at the breathtaking New York Palace Hotel in Midtown Manhattan.
Fighter Mom™ Friday is a celebration for all mothers (and others), whose children face any kind of disease, challenge or disability. It will be a day that provides a special service to moms and other caregivers who need tools to become truly proactive for their children. To kick off Mother’s Day weekend, FightSMA and the Toy Industry Foundation are honored to provide these special women with a day of their very own – a day to honor the Fighter Mom™. This day will be celebrated year after year.
The workshop will be a fun, educational and productive day. FightSMA and the Toy Industry Foundation have collaborated to provide a dynamic agenda for the day, including presentations, a celebrity guest speaker, panelists and toy demonstrations.
