Thank You for Making Patchwork 2025 a Remarkable Success!

April 8, 2025

Dear Friends and Supporters,

With heartfelt gratitude, we thank you for being part of our record-breaking Patchwork 2025 event, which raised an extraordinary $165,000 – a 50 percent increase from last year’s $110,000! This remarkable achievement would not have been possible without the 250 members of both our Amish and non-Amish communities coming together in support of DDC Clinic’s life-changing work.

As Eli Miller, our Executive Director, reminded us during his opening remarks, “What we’re constructing together is truly remarkable—it’s hope.” Indeed, each of you represents a vital piece in this important work. Together, we are weaving innovative research and compassionate care into a brighter future for families affected by rare genetic disorders.

Event Highlights

Our first-ever Fund-A-Need was an overwhelming success, exceeding our $50,000 goal by raising $50,600, with additional generous donations arriving even at checkout! This tremendous response demonstrates how, as Eli noted, “every great endeavor requires many hands.”

Another touching highlight was the video testimonial from a client, Molly, and her mother from Australia, who have become like family to DDC Clinic. Their story beautifully illustrated that our impact extends across the globe, encouraging everyone present to give generously.

Special Thanks

We extend our deepest appreciation to:

  • Our extraordinary sponsors, including Community Champions ChemTechnologies and James Schill
  • Community Partners including the Duangjak, Davidson, Daut, Holland, Farrell and Wang families;
  • Trumbull County Hardwoods, Marsh Valley Forest Products, and Mirium Pharma
  • All our Supporters and Community Boosters
  • Our dedicated Board Members and Staff
  • Each and every donor who contributed to this unprecedented success

Looking Forward

Mark your calendars now for next year’s event on April 11, 2026 at the EOUV Club in Novelty, Ohio. We promise it will be even bigger and better!

We invite you to follow DDC Clinic on LinkedIn, Facebook, and Instagram to see photos from this memorable evening.

With your continued support, we will keep stitching together a brighter future—one research breakthrough, one patient care moment at a time.

With sincere gratitude,
