Help fight cancer by going to a party: Walla-Pa-Looza

Posted on the July 31st, 2009 under Personal by Al

Look around you at four other people. Odds are that one of you may get cancer. Why not help the American Cancer Society by attending a party?

What party?

Walla-Pa-Looza!

Walla-Pa-Looza was started by a guy that saw a need to party and raise money at the same time.

Walla-Pa-Looza is about good bands, good friends, good food, and a good cause.

Money raised at the event will benefit the American Cancer Society.

The event will be held at the Johnsburg Community Club, 2315 W. Church Street, Johnsburg, Illinois and will feature four live bands playing throughout the day:

  • Blush
  • Peter & The Versatiles
  • Danny & The Devils
  • Always Frantic

How much did you spend on Starbucks or other coffee this week?
A mere $5.00 donation gets you into Walla-Pa-Looza and kids under 12 are free.

Walla-Pa-Looza  runs from 2:00pm-11:00pm

In addition to the bands, there will be a 50/50 Raffle, Silent Auction, Ticket Raffle, Activities for the children and more Food and beverages will be provided for purchase on site.

For more information, or to make a donation at any time:

Also, the organizers of the event received some sad news as seen in this week in the Northwest Herald, which just reinforces the need for your participation in this event to help it succeed:
