JOA Picnic in the Park 7/09/2022
           2nd Saturday in July

Picture

FREE Event at German Central 2nd Saturday in July, 7/9/22 5 pm to 10  pm

Featuring Live Music by Shadow of Doubt, Tom Petty Tribute Band, Food Trucks; Zydeco, Mana Truck, Dairy Queen, Mama Mia’s Sausage and Antonio's Pizza.  Amazing German Beer / Beer Truck, Kids games, adult games, 50/50, sideboards, Bingo, Nerf Battle, Hole in One, Wine Pull, Booze Barrel and remarkable raffles.  Fun for all ages and family centered.

This event supports Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy Research.  This year we introduce our 2022 Duchenne Warrior, 3-year-old Drew Thomas.  ​Drew’s parents, Megan & Bart have supported JOA & our Picnic since our inception.  They recently learned that their 4th child has the same type of Duchenne that Owen has. Drew, along with his family (Mom, Dad, Emmalyn -11, Nolan – 9 & Cassidy -6) will be at our Picnic, eager to meet you & to share their story.

It has been 15 years since Owen’s diagnosis & so much has been done to advance for a cure.  The life changing Exondys 51 continues to be shared with boys needing to skip Exon 51.  Owen has been on this medicine for 5 years now & fortunately Drew just started receiving this exon skipping medicine.  The hope of a cure is closer now than it has ever been. 

It is such an honor to walk alongside Drew & his family as they embrace this new unknown, but because of each of you that support JOA, quite a familiar journey.

Please join us on Saturday July 9, to honor Drew & all our kids with Duchenne as we roll out an incredible evening with live music, great food, awesome beer & food trucks & of course our games, 50/50, side boards & incredible raffles.  NERF Battle is back this year!!!
