On Sunday, September 14, members of our Lasallian Community will be participating at the “Shine a Light for NF Walk” as part of team “Steps for Scap.”
 
In 2024, the nearly 100 members of the DLS Steps for Scap team raised over $4000 for the Children’s Tumor Foundation. 

The DLS team walks in memory of Alexander Scapini, De La Salle Collegiate Class of 2016, who tragically lost his battle with a brain tumor in January 2022. Alex’s condition, neurofibromatosis or NF, is a genetic disease that affects 1 in 3,000 people. Currently, there is no cure. 

This is the fourth year that the DLS community will be part of the signature fundraising event for the Children’s Tumor Foundation. The event is held at the Addison Oaks County Park.

The Pilots will celebrate Alex’s life, along with Alex’s parents, Dr. David Scapini and Karen Scapini.
