On Monday August 9, 2021, the DezyStrong Foundation hosted the 2nd Annual Dezy Classic, presented by JBL Home Improvements at the golf course at Bethpage State Park.  After a 1-year hiatus, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Dezy Classic was finally able to hold the event that Dezy always wanted it to be at.   It was an amazing day all around.  See the highlights in our videos below - and we hope to see you all in person at next years event.

A special welcome from our founder:
When people find out they have cancer, they think their life is over. For me it's different. For me it's the beginning of something special in life. A life in which I can help others change their way of  mentally approaching the disease, learning to be a warrior, a fighter, and have hope.  I prefer to say that I am going to conquer this disease. I will control it, rather than have it control me.  This is why I founded the DezyStrong Foundation.  To help others stay positive, control their mindset, and most of all - keep grinding DezyStrong style!

MISSION

The DezyStrong Foundation, founded in 2019, was established to provide the opportunity for individuals with cancer to have access to experiences that directly affect a positive mental well-being.
 
At DezyStrong, we believe the mind is a powerful thing.  Fighting cancer takes a strong body AND a strong mind. The goal of the DezyStrong Foundation is to support those affected by cancer keep a healthy and strong mental outlook during their fight.  We help by providing with the ability to create and share special experiences along with the ability to share it with friends, family, or other loved ones.
