Smiles for Sarah Benefit

Take a hike to show support of those suffering from Neurofibromatosis, a progressive disorder that causes tumors to form on nervs anywhere in the body, at any point in an individual's life.

Come to the pavilion, and run or walk with the entire family. Before, during and after the walk there will be music, snacks and drinks for everyone.

The event is in honor of Sarah Panozzo, 12-year-old daughter of Athletic Director Jim Panozzo and wife Joanne, a nurse at Children's Memorial Hospital. Sarah has suffered from NF her entire life.
