Fight with Faith: Honoring. Supporting. Uniting.
Saturday, September 6, 2025 | 9:00 AM – 1:00 PM
Frassati Catholic Academy | Thornton, CO
About the Event
Fight with Faith is a free, family-friendly event dedicated to honoring children affected by pediatric cancer—especially those battling or lost to DIPG and DMG—and to bringing the Colorado community together in support, awareness, and action.
Held during Pediatric Cancer Awareness Month, the event features a symbolic remembrance ceremony, a community resource fair, and the distribution of Bags of Hope and Condolence filled with comforting items and tools for families navigating life with or after childhood cancer.
This event is co-hosted by the Marc Jr Foundation and Marystrong Foundation, both led by parents who have lost children to DIPG and are committed to ensuring no family walks this path alone.
