DALLAS, May 17, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Jackie Thornton and her daughter, Jenice Dunayer, co-chairs of the Wipe Out Kids' Cancer (WOKC) 40th Anniversary Celebration Gala, pulled out all the stops for the event - one that was two years in the making. Originally slated for Fall 2020, the plans were revised because of the COVID-19 pandemic and moved to Spring 2022. That did not deter this dynamic mother/daughter team and their devoted committee, pivoting to make this landmark anniversary year a reinvigoration of dedication and promise to Wipe Out Kids' Cancer, its Warriors (children fighting cancer), grant recipients, and supporters.
