FRIENDS –
THE CAUSE. Conner Mason was just a teen when he lost his courageous battle with brain cancer in early December of 2013. https://www.kcci.com/article/family-friends-say-goodbye-to-conner-mason/6886552. Conner handled himself like a champion throughout his fight and serves as a true inspiration to many.
You can participate in this Annual Celebration of an exceptional young man by not shaving for the month of November– and/or by pledging to donate $50-$100 (or whatever amount you choose) to the Make a Wish Iowa Foundation.
CHARITABLE CONTRIBUTIONS. Make a Wish Iowa is our designated charity for donations. Make a Wish Iowa assisted the Mason Family by granting Conner’s “wish trip” to Hawaii which created an indelible memory for Conner and his family. Our annual goal has been to raise at least $15,000 – which is the average cost to grant a “wish” for a patient / family in Conner’s honor. The more we raise, the more wishes that can be granted. Again we are pleased to announce that a generous couple (and annual supporter of NSN) has agreed to match (double) the amount we raise - up to the cost of a full wish!
Be sure to designate NSN and your Team Captain Designation with your donations!
THE FINALE / CELEBRATION. The finale / celebration will be held Sunday December 1st, 2024 at 3 PM – at Jethro’s BBQ in Altoona.
Thanks to all who have participated in the past and thanks in advance for participating again this year!
J. D. & Missy Hartung
