The emcee for the evening's festivities is news anchor Frank "Big Frank" Sulkowski of WJCL-TV. Bulloch County's Alex Grovenstein, aka "Auction Alex," who trained at the Certified Auctioneers Institute at Indiana University, will hold an energetic live auction. Additionally, a special halftime program will feature a moving video presentation showcasing the journey of a brave child and family battling pediatric cancer.
"These stories are more than just statistics," said Jenny Wilkins, CURE Development Director, Events in South Georgia. "They are a powerful reminder of the real lives impacted by this disease and they showcase the incredible impact of our supporters. Last year, thanks to the generosity of our community, Homecoming raised an incredible $95,000 and we're aiming to break that record this year."
CURE programming also highlights the impact of Precision Medicine, a targeted approach that utilizes genetic testing to personalize treatment plans. CURE has proudly funded more than $14 million towards Precision Medicine research, offering a more effective approach to fighting childhood cancer.
