Summer Strong

Throwback to 10 years and 1 day ago when we dealt with another big snowstorm.

9 years without you

Happy Birthday Summer Girl

This year, part of our Summer Strong fundraising is going to support Aurora Joy — a brave 2-year-old diagnosed with leukemia. Her mom, an SIUH nurse and family friend, has spent her career caring for others. Now it’s our turn to support them. 💛

SIUH nurse is now in role of care-seeker for her 2-year-old, battling leukemia detected in routine well check The community has raised thousands for the nurse and her husband, a DSNY supervisor.

This year’s Summer Strong Golf Outing raised $37,830, which was one of our best years yet. 💛⛳️

We do this every year in honor of our daughter Summer, through her Hero Fund with Alex’s Lemonade Stand. We are also using a portion of the proceeds to support a childhood cancer family directly as they undergo treatment with their little one.

It was our first year without Grandpa Timba - the heart and engine behind this event since day one. The hole he left was impossible to ignore, this year definitely felt like it belonged to both Summer and her Grandpa. 💛

Susan (aka Grammy) and Bob carried the weight with so much heart this year. All of our friends, family, sponsors, and players showed up with such strength and love. We felt it.

Thank you for helping us keep Summer’s light shining, and for honoring Timba in a way he deserved. We are endlessly grateful.

10 years ago - Such a bittersweet photo to see such big smiles but knowing we were in the hospital for the tests and surgery leading up to her diagnosis.
