Waldwick Chamber of Commerce 5K Run and 1 Mile Walk

Donation Goal: $3,000

Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation (ALSF) emerged from the front yard lemonade stand of 4-year-old Alexandra “Alex” Scott, who was fighting cancer and wanted to raise money to find cures for all children with cancer. Her spirit and determination inspired others to support her cause, and when she passed away at the age of 8, she had raised $1 million. Since then, the Foundation bearing her name has evolved into a national fundraising movement. Today, ALSF is one of the leading funders of pediatric cancer research in the U.S. and Canada raising more than $250 million so far, funding over 1,000 research projects and providing programs to families affected by childhood cancer. For more information, Please visit .https://www.alexslemonade.org.  In connection with Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation, the Waldwick 5K Run will be honoring Cole McKeon’s memory, Waldwick’s Superhero and Warrior, who lost his battle against neuroblastoma in August 2022, at age 6.

On May 7th 2023 through the generous donations of our participants we reached our goal of $3,000. The Waldwick Chamber of Commerce had matched the $3,000 and donated $6,000 to Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation. We are all so grateful for your support in fighting this deadly disease. Let's hit our goal again this year!!!

                                                                                                                      

                                                                                                                   

Thank you for your donation to #ColesCrew, which supports Cole McKeon!

Cole has been battling neuroblastoma since he was two years old.  Cole, who is now five, has been in treatment during this time and has overcome many adverse complications due to his illness. Your donations will go to support Cole, as well as other similar children’s charities that Cole’s parents, Stephanie & Kevin McKeon, are affiliated with.

Meet Cole!

Cole is a Super Hero and a true Warrior of Waldwick’s Warrior Nation!  He can be seen in his blue cape with a big yellow “C” for Coles Crew.  His family, friends, and even strangers, makeup Coles Crew, as it is nicknamed, to show their support, pray and love Cole.  #Colescrew is also how his family keeps everyone posted on social media of Cole's progress and updates. ​Although Cole's battles have been challenging, Cole has proven over and over again that he is one courageous and tough little boy.  This past March in the midst of Cole’s treatment at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, he developed a rare fungal infection and inflammation of his esophagus.  His medical team determined that Cole had to be put into a medically induced coma and paralysis to implement the best treatment options for Cole’s multiple ongoing issues.

It was also at this time that the Blue Light Bulb campaign was started to bring awareness, support and prayers for Cole.  Since mid- March, approximately 1,000 houses all over Waldwick turn on their front porch blue lights every night to let Cole know that they are thinking of him and continue to pray for his recovery.In the past four months, Cole has miraculously overcome so many challenges. The details of the battles are long and often very scary, but the little boy in the blue cape continues to triumph battle after battle.

Cole is now home with his family. He is playing with little sister, Emmy and his neighborhood friends.  He has recently been able to go back to his preschool and signed up for Crescent school in September.  Cole is still in treatment and wears his blue cape to show that he is a force to be reckoned with. Cole is an inspiration and a teacher to all he meets.  His smile can melt your heart!

Thank you again for your donation, support and prayers!
