$5,000+ Raised From Weekend Events!

Filed under Press Releases, Public Events by Jake Wheat on 26-10-2008

Stomp Out Cancer had two big events this weekend!  On Friday night, VilleRadio.com Hosted the Stomp Out Cancer Benefit Rock Concert, which drew in a large crowd!  Special thanks to Wes, Tim, and all of the crew and sponsors for making that event a huge success!  Saturday night’s event was the Benefit Dance & Silent Auction in Bardstown, Kentucky!  Lots of friends, family, and supporters showed up to make that night a tremendous success!  The total amount raised from both events was over $5,000!

Special thanks to all the hard working people, sponsors, and friends who made this evening a big success!  If you would like to see photos from the events – please click here!

100% of the proceeds raised from our events goes to The Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center At John Hopkins (here) – and we are still raising money by selling our Volume 2 CD!  [Volume 1 is now on sale here as well....]

Again, our sincere thanks to everyone!  You truly have created the opportunity for "Hope" – and we can’t thank you enough!

The Kentucky Standard 10/28/07

Filed under Us In The News by Jake Wheat on 28-10-2007

Kentucky Standard Small

The most beautiful article was written about Stomp Out Cancer, the balloon launch, and the CD release today by “The Kentucky Standard,” a wonderful newspaper in Bardstown, Kentucky.  The article captures the project, Steven’s life, and advertised the balloon launch (which we will have photos up of soon) from today.  The CD’s sold, people released dozens of colorful balloons, and I got to send up my set of balloons along with M.D. Cunningham (artist from the CD, and friend of Steven’s) – which really was special to me.  Steven’s family was there and I got to meet so many new wonderful people!  The day, while sad in many respects, was definately a celebration of Steven’s life – and the memories of him.
