Bel Air Family Raises Funds For Pediatric Cancer Research
The Bel Air Athletic Club hosts the Dominator 5K, which keeps the memory of a Bel Air boy alive by raising funds to fight pediatric cancer.
BEL AIR, MD — When her young son succumbed to brain cancer in 2009, one Bel Air woman decided to do something to remember him and help others. Nicole Stagnoli and her many friends in Harford County began raising money to fight the deadly disease.
“After Dominic passed away in 2009, the community along with my family began a foundation — the D.O. Believe Foundation. We raise funds and awareness for pediatric cancer,” said Stagnoli, Dominic’s mother. “We’ve raised over $122,000.” The D.O. Believe Foundation’s 9th annual Dominator 5K will be held Sunday, Sept. 16, at the Bel Air Athletic Club.
