Dunkirk, MD – Gentle Family Dentistry and Poston’s Fitness for Life are proud to announce they have raised $13,000 in sponsorship and donations for their 173 person “Dunkirk Destroyers” Warrior Dash team. The team is running the mud and obstacle 5k in honor of little Bubba Cramer from Dunkirk, MD. William “Bubba” Cramer is four and was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia in August 2015. Bubba will need chemotherapy until 2018. Last year the team broke the largest team record with their 58 person team.

“I am blown away by the outpouring of support for Bubba. Our original goal for the team was $2,000 and a 70 person roster. We are so happy to be a part of this amazing community of businesses and people that have come together to raise awareness for Bubba and his family,” remarked Dr. Cynthia Sclater, owner of GFD.

The funds raised for Bubba is due in large part to the 23 generous local businesses that are team t-shirt sponsors. A special thank you goes out to our $1,000 sponsors: National Ink & Stitch in Owings, MD, Beall & Sons in Millersville, MD, Kirlin Mid-Atlantic in Rockville, MD and Colonial Parking in Washington, DC. We are proud to mention our $750 sponsors: Anne Arundel Dermatology with locations across MD, C & C Mechanical in Dunkirk, MD (Bubba’s grandparents) and The Car Center of Glen Burnie, MD. There are 16 additional $500 and $250 sponsors. All team members have made a $20 donation as well.

“We are truly blessed to see our community come together for our family and Bubba. The amount of sponsors and people rooting for Bubba means so much to us. We are so appreciative for everyone’s support,” said Bubba’s mom, Gina Cramer.

Bubba is surrounded by a loving family. His mother Gina, 28, father Billy, 29, sister Camryn, 8 and brother Hank, 4 months are with Bubba every step of the way. Bubba’s parents are excited to run the Warrior Dash, along with Bubba’s grandmother, aunts, extended family and friends.
The Warrior Dash is May 14, 2016 at Budd’s Creek in Mechanicsville, MD. To date over 2.5 million people have run the race in 5 countries.  The team is still accepting in-kind donations. However, the roster and t-shirt sponsorship opportunities are closed. We have received over $2,000 worth of in-kind donations for the team to date.
