Diana Nieves chatted with a group of fundraisers from our community who have combined GIST advocacy with a personal passion in their lives to raise funds for GIST research. We are grateful to these individuals who have been so creative and thankful that they joined us on April 18 at noon ET to share how to create a successful virtual or in-person fundraiser to further GIST research.
