September 2023 Childhood Cancer Awareness Community Night

To recognize Childhood Cancer Awareness Month (September), all of our families came together to show their camaraderie in their support of children who are battling cancer, who are survivors, or have passed away in the wake of this horrific disease.

Gold is the color of the childhood cancer ribbon, and gold was evident throughout the evening at our September 17th Community Night. Our over arching theme for the evening was; “Bringing Light to Childhood Cancer Awareness”. A huge thank you to Amber, one of Childhood Cancer Community’s (CCC) talented volunteers, who designed and placed our beautiful table centerpieces. The dining area welcomed over 100 attendees, along with 5 “first time” attending families.

Matt and Heidi Brown, one of our CCC families, served our dinner. Matt is a remarkable chef! They own and operate Estelle’s Eatery and Bar in Harmony, MN. Thank you Matt and Heidi for serving such a delicious dinner.

We would also like to thank Donna Richardson and the West Albany Church for providing blankets and quilts for our families. They were beautiful and our families loved looking through them to choose their favorite one.

And in recognition of this special month, all of our children and teens were invited to pick a gift from our gift table during the evening. They were all extremely excited for this opportunity!
