On September 1st, Alex’s Army was able to hang gold ribbons through our town of Haymarket in honor of Childhood Cancer Awareness Month!
This event has become one of our favorites in that it truly is such a special thing to be a part of. We hang the ribbons each year not only to raise awareness, but also as a symbol of our love for all of the families whose lives are forever impacted by a childhood cancer diagnosis. We hang these gold ribbons to stand united with families walking this difficult path so they know they are not alone in their fight and that ours is a community that cares.
Special thank you to the Haymarket Town Hall for allowing us to paint the town gold for the 3rd year in a row, to Photography By Trisha for capturing the event, to The Cake Runner for the delicious limoncello macaroons for our volunteers (stay tuned for a sweet deal in how you can snag some for childhood cancer awareness month and a portion of the proceeds will benefit Alex’s Army!), to all of our families and volunteers who came out to help us once again paint the town GOLD!
