About:
What a night! Garden City friends and families came out in full force to support one of their own at last night’s Light the Night event in Eisenhower Park. Light The Night is a series of fundraising campaigns benefiting The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s funding of research to find cures for blood cancer. Hundreds of friends from Garden City came out to show their support for Stewart School third grader Avery, who is currently being treated for leukemia. Individual donations along with Stewart School’s Pizza with a Purpose profits brought the donation total to over $7,700! In addition to many friends from Stewart School, members of the Garden City High School marching band, cheerleading team and football team were present to help root for their little hero, Avery. Together, they walked to bring light to the darkness of cancer! Way to go Team Absolutely Amazing Avery!!
