Freezing Fun For Families - FFFF

09/05/2026

Heavy news today, friends. We’ve made the difficult decision to cancel the 2026 Freezing Fun for Families golf event.

To everyone who has reached out with kind words, check-ins, and encouragement: thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Your support is the engine behind what we do, and it means everything to our organization.

This isn't goodbye, just a temporary pause. We’re taking this time to recharge so we can return bigger, better, and stronger than ever next time around. Stay tuned, and thank you for being the best community we could ask for!

2026 FFFF Beneficiary: Niko - 16 years old

Niko was diagnosed with a nongerminomatous germ cell tumor (brain tumor) on 6/6/2024. Niko has had an incredibly difficult journey – he underwent 3 neurosurgeries for tumor resection and completed 6 cycles of chemotherapy in Vermont, followed by a stem cell transplant in Boston and radiation therapy in New York City. In July 2025, Niko’s disease relapsed and he underwent another tumor resection in Boston in August. In October, more recurrence of disease was discovered, requiring yet another tumor resection surgery, followed by more radiation therapy (all in Boston). Throughout his treatment, Niko’s parents, Heather and Alex, have been by his side – supporting Niko and his younger sister, Ella, with tenacity and grace at every turn. Throughout his treatment, he collected more than 500 Lego sets, which he donated to the UVM Children’s Hospital, and on December 7th, will celebrate an incredible goal he set for himself, becoming an Eagle Scout.

Anders was diagnosed with Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) on 8/11/2025. Anders also has Trisomy 21. Patients with Trisomy 21 are at a higher risk for infectious complications and serious side effects from chemotherapy, and therefore receive their treatment in the inpatient setting. In the 105 days since he was diagnosed, Anders has spent 91 days in the hospital receiving treatment. He lives at home with his parents, Jonathan and Britta along with his brothers, Jorgen and August.
