Sunday Night Lights Set for Sept. 28
August 20, 2014
SNL captures the essence of high school football – the drama on the field, the myriad of flashing colors, the cheering fans who fill the stands, the bustle and smells of the concession stand, the thrill of the marching band – and offers that experience to a very special group of athletes: kids who are battling cancer and other life-threatening childhood diseases.
Now in its fifth year, SNL is a non-profit community event hosted annually by more than 600 Lindbergh students who work together to make this night a reality for families throughout the greater St. Louis area. Year-round fundraisers, concession stand proceeds and community donations help make this event possible. SNL is designed to provide these kids, their siblings and families a memorable evening together, while reminding them that they are supported in their battle by a caring community.
Last year, SNL hosted 64 young cancer patients and their siblings as players, cheerleaders, dancers and band members. Endorsed by Friends of Kids with Cancer, Rainbows for Kids and Camp Rainbow, the event has grown to uniquely touch the lives of hundreds each year.
Publicity is needed to
help spread the word as this year’s event is poised to accommodate even more
children who could use a hug from the community.
We invite you to help us
fill the stands on Sunday, Sept. 28 at Flyer Stadium.
