The Do It For Dom \u2013 Focus Foundation was set-up in his memory after he brought the concept to life from his hospital bed. His goal was to help other people and their families affected by a cancer diagnosis. Ray Bridgeman (Dominic\u2019s Dad) and his family have honored Dominic\u2019s wishes and work every year on the Do It For Dom Festival to raise money to support the local cancer community. The 4<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0edition of the Do It For Dom Festival will take place on Sunday, June 20 at The Steel Pub in Bethlehem, PA.
