A breast cancer survivor, Sheryl’s music, strength, and perseverance have been an inspiration for cancer survivors everywhere. A close friend of UCF founder Doug Ulman, Crow praised the Ulman Cancer Fund and its work on behalf of young adult cancer survivors and their families. After being diagnosed with cancer, Crow credited Ulman for his support and guidance, “he was always my point person when other people I knew were getting diagnosed. He set up more friends of mine with people at MD Anderson and Dana Farber, and all these different -- UCLA. And I contacted him as soon as I got diagnosed and said, you know, all the people that I have had you mentor through this, it is me this time. Can you help me? So, he was really the person,” she told CNN.
“Sheryl has been an inspiration to cancer survivors and we are excited to have her join us as we kick-off our Get in the Fight campaign,” said Brock Yetso, executive director of the Ulman Cancer Fund. “We are also grateful for Cindy Wolf and Tony Foreman’s generosity in hosting this event at Pazo restaurant.”
“Cindy and I are very excited to be a small part of a very special event for a marketable cause, that is absolutely important to us on a personal level,” said Foreman, owner and wine director, Pazo restaurant.
