On October 17, 2019 our brother Connar Zaldivar was diagnosed with Synovial Sarcoma. This is a very rare form of cancer that normally attacks the joints. Unfortunately for Connar, it attacked his lungs, making it even more rare. He is currently undergoing chemotherapy at MD Anderson in Houston, TX. He will be receiving treatments for the next few months, keeping him out of school and work.
Connar is a student at Northwestern State University in Natchitoches, LA. He is a sophomore pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Nursing. Connar is active on campus. He is a member of NSU Cheer, Presidential Ambassadors and Pi Kappa Alpha.
There are over 17 million new cases of cancer worldwide every year. To honor our brother and give back to our local community, we will be hosting a philanthropy dinner. Please join us on February 13, 2020 from 6pm to 8pm at Cane River Brewing Company for dinner, live music, and a raffle. Even if you cannot make it to the dinner, please consider donating or becoming a sponsor.
