Denim & Diamonds:
A night under the stars
Join us for the Denim & Diamonds Bash
on April 25, 2015, for a new twist on the
old-fashioned “tent party” featuring
fabulous cuisine, a great band, unique
auction prizes, and a “come as you like”
theme. From your favorite pair of denims
to your best cocktail dress, everything is “in” at Denim &
Diamonds. This event celebrates AAMC and the renovation of the
Clatanoff Pavilion.
For more information about Denim & Diamonds, including
advertising and sponsorship opportunities, call Kendra

Running for a cure
Dawn Orso, a founder and board member of the Building
Traditions Society at AAMC, was diagnosed with breast cancer
in January 2014 at the age of 42. In her honor, the inaugural
Dawn Orso 5K/1-Mile Family Fun Day took place on Oct. 12, 2014,
at Camp Letts in Edgewater. AAMC hosted this event honoring
Dawn’s tremendous journey through breast disease, her positive
outlook on life, and her drive to help others who might be
suffering through the same disease she is recovering from today.
With almost 600 attendees, the event raised more than
$30,000 in support of the AAMC Research Institute and the AAMC
Breast Center, allowing them to continue clinical trials to find
better cures and better treatment for breast cancer right here in
our community. Thank you, Orso family, sponsors and attendees!
We couldn’t do it without
you! Thank you to our
community partners
AAMC has been an integral part of our local
and regional community since 1902. We truly
appreciate all the community does to support
AAMC and its caregivers. Here we honor those
individuals and groups that make a difference
every day in the lives of thousands of patients
and families through their support of AAMC.
