Finley Fest 2022

---

  Finley passed away on September 11, 2020.  She was such a beautiful soul.  As a family, we decided a traditional funeral was not what we wanted.  A "Celebration of Life" sounded much better.  Finley was supposed to turn three years old on September 27, 2020. We figured her birthday was the best day to celebrate her life.  Family and friends came to her "blue birthday party" and celebrated together.  She would have loved it!  

  After we celebrated that day we wanted to make it an annual tradition to remember her.  From the very beginning of Finley's journey we were blessed with so many giving people.  The outreach of support was overwhelming!  We knew we wanted to "pay it forward" some day... this is how the Finley Forever Foundation was started.

  Finley Fest is in honor of Finley's birthday and we will hold it annually. Long term goals are to host multiple events throughout the year!  We will use the funds to assist families battling cancer financially and emotionally.  We are connecting with Lurie Children's Hospital in Chicago, IL.  We also give all stem cell transplant patients a gift when they come in for their transplants.
