DeeDee Maeder-Murray has been a caregiver her entire life always taking care of others long before taking care of herself. We wanted to show her that she is LOVED, SUPPORTED, and CARED about deeply. Deedee was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer in October 2025. We are doing a benefit and fundraiser to help raise money to help with expenses after surgery which is scheduled for December 11th 2025. Deedee will be having a double mastectomy. We will be having a Bake Sale, Silent Auction, Pool Tournament, and DJ this day. ALL PROCEEDS go to the Family in this event.
Deedee and Brett have 4 amazing daughters ranging in age from 40 years old to 10 years old all who are in the fight with them for this. Dani, April, Breanna, and Bryce along with Deedee's husband Brett are helping her kick cancers a** one day at a time. This is her second battle with cancer, She beat thyroid cancer in 2013 and is fighting again.
The Slippery Pickle will be hosting this event and will be a huge part of this as Dani is an employee with them. We can not thank Karla enough for helping with this event along with Matt for Mad Dog Entertaiment, and the friends and family who will be there for her!
Donations for Silent Auction, Raffle, Bake Sale & for the Taco Bar/Hot Dog Bar/Loaded Chilli Bar. Please reach out to the Host(s) if you have questions. Those would be Dani Holm, Val Foreman, Breanna Peters (Murray), April Murray, or Jojo (Joelle) Murray.
