The Watertown and Belmont community came together on March 28 for the annual Dally Cup Hockey game, raising more than $13,000 in honor of Grace Garabedian to benefit CFC International.
The event, supported by the Belmont Police and Fire Departments, the Belmont Youth Hockey Association, and local friends and families, highlighted the strength and generosity of the community while bringing awareness to Cardiofaciocutaneous Syndrome (CFC), a rare genetic
condition.
Grace Garabedian was born with CFC, a disorder that commonly affects the heart, facial features, and skin. She has faced ongoing challenges related to growth, development, and a demanding schedule of medical appointments.
Funds raised from the Dally Cup will directly support research, education, and resources for individuals and families impacted by CFC. Organizers noted that beyond the financial contribution, the event played a significant role in increasing awareness and fostering community support rare disease advocacy.
The success of this year’s event reflects the collective effort and compassion of the Belmont community in supporting Grace and others affected by CFC.
