As far advanced as our modern society is today, we unfortunately still have horrible illnesses like childhood cancer. In May of this year, 6 year old Theofanis Yianas was diagnosed with Neuroblastoma, which is a rare childhood cancer. He recently had a tumor removed and is undergoing chemotherapy.
September is Childhood Cancer Awareness month and in support of this and in support of Theofanis, please come out for a fundraiser that will be held on Saturday, September 24th and Sunday, September 25th. It will be held at The Greek Orthodox Church of Saint Demetrios, 893 N. Church Road, Elmhurst. There will be authentic Greek food, crafts and games, music and dancing, and an auction. Saturday afternoon there will be a talent show and Saturday night there will be an appearance by Chicago Bears legend Steve "Mongo" McMichael. Noon on Sunday there will be performances by Dionysos Young Adult & Junior Dance Troupes.
All proceeds will be donated to a fund set up for Theofanis as he fights to win against Neuroblastoma. For more information about Theofanis Yianas please visit his blog: http://www.theofanisspot.blogspot.com/
