Champions for Change Gala

We hosted our 4th annual Champions for Change Gala at the Crisler Center in Ann Arbor on April 23, 2022. We would like to announce our event raised over $1.5 million to go towards more game-changing DIPG research!

Tammi and Jason Carr thank you for a successful first gala as the newly merged ChadTough Defeat DIPG Foundation and are so honored to welcome co-founders, Mark and Jenny Mosier, as well as our growing network of Family Partners, to this amazing Ann Arbor event.

Co-chairs

In honor of our 2022 co-chairs, UM Head Baseball Coach Erik Bakich and his wife, Jiffy, and former Detroit Tiger and current UM Volunteer Assistant Baseball Coach Brandon Inge and his wife, Shani (Chad Carr’s forever Godmother), this year’s event had a baseball theme and celebrated America’s pastime with flair! Thank you so much – we love you and are grateful for all you do for the ChadTough family.
