A huge THANK YOU to everyone who came out and joined us this past Sunday for our Summer Bash event.  

A special thank you to Andy Stromberg and the incredible team at Dulles Golf Center & Sports Park, your support of this event from day 1 has been so appreciated and we are thankful to you and your team for helping ensure this event was a success!  

Special shout-out also to the following individuals and businesses who helped support this year’s family & childhood cancer community event:  Mission BBQ, Moo-Thru Ice Cream, Love Wedding & Events + Photo Booth, Nana’s Facepainting, Craft Basket & the Cassarino Family, to our Driving for a Cure Tournament Golfers who so generously sponsored holes on this event’s Putt-Putt course: Steve Bloom & Family, Tim Moorstein & Family, to this year’s event planners Heather Kuzma & Liz Bush, to our photographers Raishad Peoples & Hollie Piraino, & as always to all of our amazing volunteers!

Our hearts are full from all the fun that we had at our first ever Summer Bash!  We played, we ate, we caught up with so many awesome kiddos, we played putt-putt, found some super cool gems while gemstone mining, hit a few balls in the batting cages, we took cute & silly photo booth pics, made some beautiful sand art, had a treat or two (another double scoop anyone?) – and we did it all true Luau style with smiles on our faces and joy in our hearts!

Below are photos from this year’s event including a few photos from the photo booth fun! 

Additionally, we were sad that our favorite music man Cliff Ziarno & his company Backflip Cat Productions couldn’t make it – we do love the playlist and hope you did too from this year’s event!  Spotify users can check it out here:

Last but certainly not least – Thank you to all of Alex’s Army for your support of our mission. Through your donations and generous support of our foundation, we are able to host events like these to support families and all those impacted by childhood cancers.

It truly takes an ARMY to fight Childhood Cancers…together we are an Alex’s Army and we are making a difference in the lives of children fighting cancer and their families!

Our hearts are beaming from the smiles shared and fun that was had by all on Sunday. Many people don’t realize that siblings can often feel overlooked when a child in the family is diagnosed with cancer. While these sweet children feel sad, scared, or even jealous, they tend to keep those feelings inside in fear of bringing more grief or worry to their already grief-stricken parents.

Alex’s Army knows just how AMAZING these SUPER SIBLINGs are and just how strong the bond between siblings can be – this event was held to CELEBRATE the awesome siblings all around us! You can just feel the love from the pictures that these SUPER SIBLINGS have for each other and we are so thankful to have gotten to spend the day with each and every one of them!

Thank you to Apple Federal Credit Union foundation for choosing Alex’s Army as beneficiary of the 2018-2019 Impact Grant and allowing us to hold events like this! Thank you to Uptown Alley Manassas for helping us put on a wonderful event! Thank you also to Park Valley Church Miracle of Mercy women’s group for not only helping pack gifts for the kids but also for joining our volunteer team to shower the families with love at the event!
