Lydia was first diagnosed with osteosarcoma at age 7, and then again at age 9. While she is now cancer-free and thriving, Lydia and her family are determined to help others facing this devastating bone cancer. To make a lasting impact, the Alwan family and their dedicated support network — Team Lydia — partnered with the Osteosarcoma Institute and hosted their 3rd annual golf tournament, which rallied their community to raise awareness and funds for pediatric osteosarcoma research.

This year, the tournament was a wonderful day filled with golf, celebration, and hope. Friends, family, and supporters came together for friendly competition on the course, shared laughter at the reception and raffle, and reflected on how far we’ve come in the fight against osteosarcoma. One of the most meaningful moments of the day was celebrating Lydia being four years cancer-free—a milestone that reminds us exactly why this event matters. Her strength and joy continue to inspire everyone who tees up and gives to make a difference.
