Our names are James and William Connor. We’re 13 years old and we’re in 8th grade at Northport Middle School.
Last February, instead of having a Bar Mitzvah, we held a benefit called Blast Children’s Cancer to raise money for the St. Baldrick’s Foundation. It was a huge success, and we raised even more than our $5,000 goal!
In fact, it was such a success that we’re doing it again! This year, to celebrate our sixth time shaving our heads for St. Baldrick’s, we’re upping our goal to $6,000!
Our benefit is on January 15th at LazerLand in Commack . In addition to laser tag and dodgeball, there’ll be a Chinese auction and a silent auction.Last year we had more than 60 amazing auction donations including a baseball signed by Jorge Posada, a diamond and pearl necklace, four court-side tickets to a Knicks game, original works donated by artists, a pair of tickets to “Stomp!”, two tickets to any show at the Engeman Theater, a night for two at Oheka Castle, a dockside gourmet lunch on a private yacht, a family portrait shoot, and a special Mardi Gras themed basket direct from New Orleans. And that’s just a few of them!
So come on out for a great night of laser tag, dodgeball and lots of prizes!
Thank you for helping us Blast Children’s Cancer,
William and James Connor
