"Art for Jack" Music and Art Festival for Children
Event Information
Description
It's the 3rd Annual Art for Jack! Inspired by the community spirit of Santa Clarita, Agua Dulce and Acton for little Jack-Jack, who passed away in July of 2012 of DIPG, this event features children's art workshops, family entertainment, silent auction, magic show, and a full concert of local talented performing artists beginning at 3:00 pm. Our silent auction boasts an "Avengers, Age of Ultron" poster signed by the cast, sketch of Snoopy by Charles Schulz, and more. Proceeds from the event benefit pediatric brain tumor research at Children's Hospital Los Angeles, one of the least funded areas of cancer research, yet the leading cause of cancer-related death in children.
The event is a testimony to the power of our young people's creativity to raise awareness and change the world!--while creating something beautiful. Come play with us!
Without a ticket, admission at the door is a suggested donation of $12 for adults, $5 for children, and $0 for pre-K children :)
Organizer Jack's Angels on behalf of DIPG Advocacy Group
Organizer of "Art for Jack" Music and Art Festival for Children
Jack's Angels is dedicated to raising awareness, supporting the afflicted, and funding research for DIPG, diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma, a pediatric brainstem cancer with a long-term survival rate of less than one percent. Jack's Angels is committed to advocacy for children with cancer, the #1 cause of disease-related death in children; all pediatric cancers are marginalized as rare and receive inadquate research funding and attention into causes, conditions, and cures.
Pediatric Brain Cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death in children, and DIPG is responsible for the majority of pediatric brain cancer deaths.
We support the non-political, National DIPG Awareness Resolution, H. Res. 114, which advocates for tens of thousands of children who never had the chance to have a voice, lends support and hope to those currently fighting for their lives, and insists on prioriting attention to pediatric and high-risk cancers in the medical research system. Please visit dipgadvocacy.org to see how you can help, or visit the Children's Cancer Cause Action Center to support H. Res. 114 directly.
Thank you.
