Description
THE 3RD ANNUAL CHILDHOOD CANCER AWARENESS BACKYARD BASH IS ALMOST HERE! 

September 5th • Hoops Bar & Grill • Hebron
This isn’t just an afternoon event anymore… we have an entire DAY packed with things to do, and whether you’re coming to play bags, win some incredible prizes, bring the kids, hang out with friends, or dance under the glow lights — there is truly something for everyone.
**pick your favorite bundles and drop your tickets where YOU want to win!**
Then starting at 3:00 PM, the Backyard Bash REALLY gets going!
We are so excited to welcome the McHenry County Sheriff’s Department, along with CM Wiltberger II with a few of their HUGE Trucks, for an awesome Touch-a-Truck experience for the kids and families!
We’re closing out the night with lights, music, dancing and one BIG glow party!
Come early. Stay late. Bring the kids. Bring your friends. Make a day of it.
Play backyard games. Win prizes. Dance to the DJ. Try your luck at the raffles. Check out the trucks. Hit the bounce house. Make something with the kids. Grab a s’more. Then stick around and GLOW with us as the sun goes down. 
And while we’re having an incredible day together, we’ll also be raising awareness and critical funds to support children and teens courageously battling cancer and the families walking beside them.
Every raffle ticket. Every bags team. Every purchase. Every person who shows up helps Hope for Courage continue providing personalized Warrior Packages and meaningful support to families facing the unimaginable.
Because childhood cancer takes enough.
Childhood should still have laughter.
It should still have fun.
It should still have moments that feel normal.
And it should always have Hope.
Childhood should still have laughter.
It should still have fun.
It should still have moments that feel normal.
And it should always have Hope.
