The Gabby Krause Foundation 5th Annual Bring Out the Bags
Gabby Krause was an inspiring six-year-old who died in September 2004 after a courageous, 19-month battle with brain cancer. Gabby sang, danced, and laughed her way through chemotherapy, finding the silly in everything. It is in her memory that the Gabby Krause Foundation was started and in her spirit that Bags of Fun began. Created by a network of caring people who want to make a difference in the lives of children with cancer and other life-threatening illnesses, Bags of Fun are filled with educational, interactive, and silly toys that give a child a better day, a smile, and something to focus on other than his or her illness. Help raise funds for the cause at this family event with live entertainment by pop group Blessid Union of Souls.
