All proceeds go to the Children’s Brain Tumor Family Foundation in honor of three local families. Joey Clayton from Rockaway who fought bravely for 14 months, before gaining his angel wings in February 2016 at the age of eight. In 2013, Juliana Donnelly from Caldwell was just six-years old when she lost her 16 month battle. Sean Ries from Mt. Tabor was diagnosed in 2012 at the age of four. He’s undergone multiple brain surgeries since then and learned just last year that his tumor is back and his fight is not over.
Don’t miss this fantastic event filled with music, laughter and fun, and a great way to show your support for Team Joey, Team Juliana and TEAMSean!
The Children’s Brain Tumor Family Foundation was founded by six families who were frustrated by a lack of funding for research for rare and inoperable brain tumors. They formed the foundation to support the research at the Children’s Brain Tumor Project at Weill Cornell. The project, led by Dr. Mark Souweidane and Dr. Jeffrey Greenfield, gives hope to the children and families facing the heartbreaking diagnosis of rare or inoperable pediatric brain tumors. Determined to make a difference in the fight against these killers, the Children’s Brain Tumor Family Foundation is committed to raising awareness and funds for the Children’s Brain Tumor Project. The Children’s Brain Tumor Family Foundation is a volunteer based 501(c)3 non-profit organization. Learn more click here.
