Rally
Foundation for Childhood Cancer Research invites you to Rally Pensacola’s third
annual Rally On the Runway – hosted by title sponsor, Sandy Sansing Dealerships – on Friday, April 24 at 6:30 pm at Brownsville
Community Center.

This
fashionably chic fundraiser is filled with fashion, food and fun. Local Rally
Kids, children who are currently fighting or have fought cancer, are the
highlight of the event, melting hearts as they walk the runway arm-in-arm with professional
athletes and celebrities. In addition to the Rally Kid fashion show, guests
will enjoy fabulous food tastings from area chefs, an open cocktail bar, a
preview of the latest spring trends worn by professional models and an
opportunity to participate in silent and live auctions. The event is for ages
21 .

Proceeds from
Rally On the Runway will support Rally Foundation’s mission to fund childhood
cancer research to find better treatments with fewer long-term side effects
and, ultimately, cures for childhood cancer. Cancer is the number one disease
killer of children in our country and every school day, two classrooms full of
students (about 46 children) are diagnosed with cancer. However, pediatric
cancer research remains severely underfunded on a national level. Less than 4%
of the National Institutes of Health’s cancer research budget goes to support
pediatric research. Organizations like Rally exist to fill that gap. Since
2005, Rally has given more than $16.7 million in funds to support childhood
cancer research projects.

Rally On the
Runway is also supported by presenting sponsors, The Bear Family Foundation and The Kugelman Family Foundation, platinum sponsor, KIA Autosport of Pensacola, and
gold sponsors, the Studer Family Children’s Hospital at Ascension Sacred Heart
and Granting Grace Foundation for Childhood Cancer. For information about
sponsoring the event, purchasing tickets and donating to the silent auction, visit
RallyFoundation.org/ROR-PENS or contact Pensacola@RallyFoundation.org. 

Due to the ongoing developments concerning COVID-19 and orders from our state government, please check with the event organization directly for updates on this event.

Sip, stroll, shop, dine and listen to some great music in downtown Thomasville. Participating shops and restaurants will be open late, and you can grab a glass of wine from Farmer’s Daughter Vineyards.

About Cultural Arts Alliance of Walton County
The Cultural Arts Alliance of Walton County (CAA) is a Local Arts Agency that supports the arts through leadership, advocacy, funding, programs and education.

The vision of the CAA is to be the catalyst for Walton County’s growth as a destination for cultural and artistic excellence through which lives are enriched, economy is stimulated and community is strengthened.

In May 1989, a group of artists and volunteers led by Susan Foster, Jan Clarke & Jeff Ellis organized the first Grayton Beach Fine Arts Festival (now ArtsQuest Fine Arts Festival). Two years later, Foster and Hilda McDonald coordinated a children’s art festival, eventually called the Flutterby Festival. Both events were designed to showcase local artists and raise money for after-school children’s art classes. Because of the success of these events, it became necessary to form an organization through which grants and scholarships could be awarded, and the Cultural Arts Alliance (CAA) was founded in 1993 as a 501 (c)3. In over two decades, the CAA has grown exponentially, fine-tuning these traditions while adding programs, events and services and growing into a leader in the community with a mission to support the arts through leadership, advocacy, funding, programs and education.

In 2008, the CAA received designation by the County and State as the official Local Arts Agency (LAA) of Walton County and was designated as the administrator of all revenues from the sale of the Florida Arts license plates in Walton County. The CAA headquarters is the Bayou Arts Center where over 200 art classes are offered every year to adults and children. The CAA produces the 30A Songwriters Festival, Valentine Tour of Homes, ArtsQuest, Under the Sea fundraiser for the Underwater Museum of Art, and the Flutterby Festival. Tens of thousands of dollars are awarded annually to teachers, students, artists and arts organizations through the CAA’s Art For All Program, which is funded through grants and net proceeds from events.
