PORT BYRON, IL - It's a party at "It's on the River," and it's one you don't want to miss! The Nick Teddy Foundation is pleased to announce the location of the "Nick Teddy Fight Against Ewing's Sarcoma 5k" after-party will be at "It's on the River" in Port Byron, Ill.
Events start at 9:00 AM on Sat., September 15, 2012, with the Family Fun Run and Kid's Dash. The 5k begins at 10:00 AM with the post-party starting at 11:00 AM. Admission to the after-party is included in race registration; however, non-participants can join the post-race fun with a $10.00 admission fee at the door.
Guests will enjoy free beer, pulled pork sandwiches, and live entertainment from Mommy's Little Monster. Guests will bid on unique raffle items including Cubs tickets, a one-night stay at Fairmont Chicago, and a variety of generous gift baskets and certificates. Kids can burn energy at the Kid's Zone with bounce houses, face painting and contests designed especially for them.
The Nick Teddy Foundation was established in memory of Nicholas Theodore Strub, 29, a native of Port Byron, Ill. Nick fought a courageous battle against the rare cancer, Ewing's Sarcoma, for more than 5-years.
Proceeds from the 5k and after-party will be used for Ewing's Sarcoma research.
"Nick would love the celebration," said Nick's sister-in-law Holly Larson who is heading up the 5k efforts. "He loved to get people together for a good cause and a good party."
