All Good Days Foundation Candlelight Bowl is October 4
DAVENPORT, IA (September 1, 2014) ? Quad City-area residents are invited to enjoy an event celebrating the life of a former area resident and benefiting a foundation established in his honor.
Jonathan Herath, son of William and Patricia Herath of East Moline and graduate of United Township High School and the University of Illinois, made a positive impact on the lives of children as a music educator. His life was tragically cut short as a result of complications from an aggressive infection. He is survived by his wife Holly, an active member of the Air Force National Guard, and two children under 4 years old.
Jon preached a message of positive attitude and perseverance to his students, and he lived that message every day as a 12-year cancer survivor prior to his passing. Friends and family have established the nonprofit organization, the All Good Days Foundation, in his honor. The foundation will hold a Candlelight Bowl on October 4, 2014, at Miller Time Bowling in Davenport, IA.
This event will be run simultaneously with coordinated events in Carpentersville, IL at Liberty Lanes near where Jon taught, and in Oak Forest, IL at Oak Forest Bowl, near many of Jon's friends and family. Funds raised at this event will go to the foundation and help ensure the financial stability of Jon's family in the wake of this loss, as well as to help further the foundation's mission of seeking out families struck by medical tragedy and providing them aid in their time of need.
The evening begins at 9:30 p.m. and will feature multiple types of bowling games, food, and fun. Each location will have independently run games throughout the evening with great prizes as well.
"Jon had such an amazing spirit," said Brian Nichols, founder of All Good Days. "He would say that we never have bad days...only bad moments. He inspired all of us to constantly strive to make our next moment our best yet and have all good days. His unflappable positive attitude was infectious and had a huge and lasting impact on his students most of all. He believed strongly in giving to others in a quiet fashion, and we are working now to continue in this spirit of positive service."
