By Brittney LeBeau
On Oct. 12th, the 2nd annual Carnival for a Cure was held at Community Christian Church in Naperville Illinois honoring Alexis and Evan LeBeau. Seventy-six families attended and $16,000.00 was raised for CRN.
Families and their children enjoyed pumpkin painting, carnival games, fire truck slide, face painting, moon jump, book sale, bake sale, and 65 silent auction items. A new addition was added, an adults only Corn Toss (Baggo) Tournament, which came down to an exciting finals. The highlight of the night was a live bid-off emceed by Rudy Stefanski for a custom built birch cubby storage unit. The bidders, Tammy Bruner and April Levosky went back and fourth until the last bid was up to $875.00. With a new bid in the waiting Dave Hulthen of Hulthen Woodworking offered to make another unit, so we sold two units for a total of $1,750.00!!
We personally want to express our heartfelt gratitude to all those who attended, made the silent auction donations, all of our sponsors (Lainey Lang of Baird & Warner, the Naperville Baird & Warner office, and Gorton’s Fish), and all those who donated their hard work and time to volunteer in making this Carnival such a great success! Finally none of this would have happened without the hard work and long hours put in by Amber Stefanski. We would like to sincerely thank Amber for putting together another successful Carnival for a Cure to help find a cure for Cystinosis!
