    20 Years of Memories

    Journeys 2020 marked 13thirty Cancer Connect’s 20th year of making a difference for teens and young adults living with cancer. Journeys is an annual celebration of life where our members and their creativity are featured in a performance that our families and supporters are invited to watch. Though we wish we could have celebrated together in person, this year’s virtual event allowed members living around the country to watch from the comfort of their own homes. The pandemic has challenged us to adapt our programs and events to formats that allow members to safely connect with one another. Our generous sponsors have helped make our continuum of support possible during these uncertain times.

    Journeys 2020 included a performance of the Maroon 5 song, “Memories” sang by 13thirty members. This year’s awards went to Doug Spiker for the Make a Difference Award and Jim Blaesi of Blaesi’s Automotive for the Corporate Salute. Watch the song performance or the full event hosted by Corrie Carter from Polite Ink on our YouTube channel:

    If you enjoyed our Sips and Starters packages this year, we can thank Chef’s Catering, Flash Point Customs, Eastway Liquor and Wegmans for their help creating them.

    The “Memories” performance was put together by Matt Sengbusch and Jon Madden.

    2018 Bandana Bolt Sponsors

    Thank You 2018 Bandana Bolt Sponsors!

    We want to send a huge thank you to all of our generous sponsors that helped make the 2018 Bandana Bolt possible. Thank you to our 13thirty Friends, Builders, Dreamers, Believers, and Leaders for believing in what we do. We love participating in the Greater Rochester community along side our volunteers and sponsors. With support from our sponsors, we hope to continue to grow this annual event and we truly cannot do it without your help. Our 5k race proceeds help to support our mission at 13thirty Cancer Connect:

    To help adolescents and young adults (AYAs) impacted by cancer live their very best lives – today!

    We offer weekly programs to our 13thirty teens and young adults and monthly programs to parents. Programs include the arts, fitness and nutrition, and just getting together and having fun with people who understand. Our center is where they connect with others who get what its like to be an AYA living with cancer. So here’s to many more Bandana Bolts and in turn, many more programs!

    Interested in becoming a sponsor for next year’s Bandana Bolt or some of our other events in the community? Learn more about our events and contact us about how to get involved.
