Date Set for Childhood Cancer Glow Gold Rally

Sammy’s Superheroes Foundation (www.SammysSuperheroes.org) has set a date for its Glow Gold Rally in Omaha, Nebraska, which will be held on September 10, 2017 at Village Pointe Toyota. The event is the Foundation’s largest Omaha event and will raise money to support severely underfunded childhood cancer research. It also serves to raise awareness of the fact that the taxpayer-funded National Cancer Institute only earmarks 4 percent of its budget to childhood cancer, with Nebraska ranking 3rd in childhood cancer incidences.

The event will include a variety of activities for all ages, including a bounce house and face painting for younger kids, as well was virtual reality and an Apple experience booth for older kids – plus much more. Food and drinks will be included in the admission fee. There will be a short ceremony and the West Dodge Station Elementary Choir’s rendition of “Clouds,” a song written by Zach Sobiech, a pediatric cancer patient. The event will finish with one-mile honor walk to remember all those who fight and those angels we have lost. The event will start at 3:00 p.m.; admission is $15 for adults and $10 for kids. Register at www.SammysSuperheroes.org.
