Tuesday Recap: While adults attended final sessions, the kids and teens went to Wayside Waifs to deliver the toys and treats they picked out the day before. They learned how animals communicate their needs and feelings without using words. We all gathered together back at the hotel for goodbyes to end such an incredible time spent together. We'd like to thank our sponsors for helping make this happen, our Kansas City area industry members for coming to share and support, our local venues for giving us so many great places to host our attendees, and of course, all of the attending families, researchers, volunteers, advocates, and members of healthcare industry for making the trip. This community is amazing!

Monday Recap: Once we were all reunited at Kauffman, we had a reflection walk through the sunflowers made by our kiddos and released 100 butterflies at our lakeside tribute. We then split off into three groups for our final night together! Ladies went to Game Show Battle Rooms, men went to Fowling Warehouse for football bowling with a golf simulator, and our kids & teens went to Main Event for arcade games, bowling, laser tag, and sky walking!

Monday Recap: While our adults had breakfast followed by sessions focused on treatment options and advocacy, our kiddos took a trip to Deanna Rose Children's Farmstead, where they created emotional toolkits and discussed healing strategies over lunch provided by Brave Like McKenna in between fishing, wagon rides, and feeding animals. They also stopped by a pet store before joining us at Kauffman for our evening activities...

Sunday Recap: After the Tough2gether Breakfast, everyone returned to the hotel for designated programming. While adults attended sessions focused on hope & research, kids and teens worked together in escape rooms, held sessions on using their voices led by Hannah Soderstrom with Even Mermaids get Leukemia and Avery Royer with Brave Like McKenna, and received a surprise visit from Aly with Kick Cancer like a Girlboss, who helped them design their own custom converse shoes! Before our night time activity, some adults took a tour of Dr. Yadav's DIPG lab. Thank you to all of these Kansas-based members of our community for being a part of this incredible weekend!

Saturday Recap: For those arriving on Saturday, we met at the hotel for registration and welcome while some took an optional field trip to attend an equine therapy session. Families created posters using their child's photo, and then we split up by age group for some welcome sessions before all heading out for a fun night at Chicken N Pickle!

This incredible experience was not only sponsored and attended by Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation and Bublup but both organizations held sessions with our families and industry, informing them of valuable resources and programs they have to offer. We are so honored to have organizations like these that not only support but take the time and care to connect with our community. THANK YOU!
