Meet the Mighty Lex!
So, what about Lex? This incredible creation is the work of Christopher Price, a talented master sculptor from Price Handyworks, LLC. Lex isn’t just any dinosaur; he stands as a symbol of hope and resilience in the fight against cancer. Christopher previously hosted a successful fundraiser during Breast Cancer Awareness Month, attracting over 300 visitors and raising nearly $2,000.

A Cause Worth Fighting For
While the event promises to be a joyful occasion filled with laughter, it also serves a serious purpose. All proceeds from the event will be donated to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.

In fact, there are approximately 1,629,474 people in the United States living with or in remission from MDS (myelodysplastic syndromes) and MPNs (myeloproliferative neoplasms). Among them, an estimated 54,817 children and adolescents under the age of twenty are affected.

Each ticket purchased and each donation made will play a part in making life a little brighter for those who are bravely facing their battles against cancer.
