A Luau for Cancer Hero Families
Our annual Summer Send-Off brought childhood cancer hero families together for a tropical-themed party. Kids in treatment and those beyond reunited with friends, and parents/caregivers connected with other families who understand having a child with cancer.
We had the event at the popular Brambly Park in Scott’s Addition. Bobby and his team made sure we were taken care of. They set up a party area and served all the kids’ favorite foods. On the main stage was The Red Hot Lava Men playing their fast-paced surf rock tunes. Jonathan The Juggler wowed the crowd with his hilarious magic tricks and impressive juggling acts. Kona Ice rolled in with their flavored ice truck. Everywhere you looked, families were laughing, playing, and making memories together.
Painting A Surprise
The kids made luau-themed crafts. Over at one table, they created something very special with Hero Artist Frankie Slaughter. Frankie helped the kids roll woodcut designs in their favorite colors. She will put each block together to create a special work of art for a very special doctor at CHoR (shhhhh, it’s a surprise).
