Happy Fun Run & Fireworks Festival Eve! We're SO close to reaching our goal in time for tomorrow's celebration of life--can you help us get there before we hit the start line tomorrow afternoon?!

PS: The weather in Plainville tomorrow's ideal for fireworks: clear skies, high of 80.

Tonight is the last night.

At midnight, the matching gift closes. After that, every dollar is just a dollar again. Right now, it's two.

We're only $8,266 from our $75,000 goal. The race is Saturday. And a generous anonymous donor is still matching every gift dollar-for-dollar--up to $1,000 each--to these two teams running for children battling cancer right now:

🏃 Team Lappostato → [link in comments]
🏃 Gretel's Hellfire Running Club → [link in comment]

If you've watched the video of little Malia swimming at Gretel's birthday party and felt something — this is the moment to do something with that feeling.

The match ends at midnight. The race starts the fireworks festival this Saturday. Any little bit helps a lot.

Thank you. For everything.

From Nick’s mom:

Hi friends! Today is my son Nick’s 13th Birthday! Nick battled Stage 4 Neuroblastoma as a toddler, and has been in remission for almost 10 years now. That would not have been possible without his fabulous care team at the Jimmy Fund Clinic/Boston Children’s Hospital, and the support from small foundations like For Kids’ Sake. Not only does FKSF provide crucial funding for pediatric cancer research, they also give back to local families (just like ours)!

If you’d like to help us honor Nick and his incredible milestone, please consider donating to Team Lappostato, in honor of 3 year old Elena, a fellow Neuroblastoma warrior. 100% of the funds raised by this team will go directly back to Elena’s family, to help ease the burden of unexpected medical and day-to-day costs so the family can focus on her and her sister, Flora!

BONUS: An incredibly generous anonymous supporter is matching every donation dollar-for-dollar, up to $1,000, before midnight tomorrow, June 18th! Your $25 becomes $50, your $50 becomes $100…how awesome is that??

Click here to donate to Team Lappostato today:

Thank you for honoring my boy and supporting our kids!

Someone's making your dollar count twice! For the next 48 hours--through Thursday, June 18--an incredibly generous anonymous supporter is matching every donation dollar-for-dollar, up to $1,000 each, to these two teams:

🏃 Gretel's Hellfire Running Club
🏃 Team Lappostato

Your $25 becomes $50. Your $50 becomes $100. Your $100 becomes $200.

Both teams are running June 20 for kids who are fighting cancer right now. Whatever each team raises goes straight to the two local, MA families.

Gretel's fam has been part of our story since Malia was a toddler fighting cancer. The video is of little Malia swimming at Gretel's birthday party, healthy, happy, cancer behind her. Two little girls who had no idea what the years ahead would bring.

⏰ The match ends Wednesday at 11:59pm. The race is Saturday. We are $15,851 from our $75,000 goal with 4 days until race day.

Malia's legacy loves on for other because of you.

06/15/2026

Yesterday marked 3 years without Malia. 3 years without her giggles, her kindness, and her passion to defy any and all odds. Malia wanted to help all people in need, especially when it came to fundraising for pediatric cancer research, and supporting families through the unthinkable.💜

In honor of Malia’s incredible legacy, please consider making a donation to our 3rd Annual Celebration of Life Festival & 5k. Whether you sign up to run/walk or simply donate, you are allowing us to continue her quest to CRUSH cancer for good, and give back to those who need it the most. Please help us get to our goal of $75,000 this year!

We can’t thank you enough!!🎗️
