Thanks to all who joined virtually on November 17th to celebrate the good with Expect Miracles Foundation's Samfund programs! This year's Samfund Annual Celebration featured special guests soccer legend Mia Hamm and comedian Shayla Rivera, as well as many incredible stories from Samfund grant recipients. Highlights included a surprise double $10,000 match by both co-host and EMF Board member Lex Friedman and longtime supporter Matt Ramer of MOR Wealth Management, a message from NFL Hall of Famer and GMA Host Michael Strahan, and a moving tribute to Sam's bone marrow donor Eli. 

In Sam's words, "dedicating this year's Samfund Annual Celebration to Eli was hard but powerful. It was important to me to feature stories of Samfund alumni who have undergone bone marrow transplants, and to celebrate the work that Mia's foundation does for bone marrow donation, as my way of honoring Eli. He gave me and my family so much good to celebrate." 

See below for highlights from this year's event, which raised close to $250,000 for Samfund programs. The Foundation is truly grateful for everyone's support.
