Grace Pantano, fondly known as “Gracie,” is a fifth grade student at Minnesauke Elementary School. In July of 2017, Gracie was diagnosed with a brain tumor that required three surgeries. She has recently returned to school while continuing through a long journey of rehabilitation. Gracie has a determined spirit and has inspired us with her inner strength and resiliency. She has had to relearn how to walk and talk and has come a long way. Unfortunately, doctors recently found that the tumor has returned and Gracie will need another surgery to remove the tumor on her brain. The doctors will have a difficult time removing the entire tumor, as it is partially located in her brain stem. Funds raised will go directly to the family in supporting them through Gracie's surgery. The money raised will help the family with their time off from work, their stays near the hospital and will also help to offset expenses related to Gracie’s recovery.
