Thank you for supporting the BAHRENBURG FAMILY! Lets rock the town in
their honor! The Bahrenburgs are an amazing family that we have gotten
to know through the local junior hockey program. Nathan and Gina have
2 children, James (9) and Hazel (4). In getting to know this family,
we learned that the last couple of years had been strenuous, as
beautiful Gina was diagnosed with glioblastoma (a malignant brain
tumor), in 2017. Her initial surgery dramatically limited her mobility
and strength, something she is working diligently to regain, with
courage and determination. Our hockey family watches her husband,
Nathan, pushing a wheelchair, while balancing Hazel on his shoulders,
and tending to Gina; with nothing but a smile. To see him take care of
his family feels like watching the work of a living saint. The family
is always smiling, and is so grateful for everything they have. They
are amazing people, and we feel so lucky to have these friends in our
lives.
On Christmas Day, they were thrown another curve ball. Their 4 year
old daughter, Hazel, was diagnosed with Leukemia. She immediately
began receiving chemotherapy at a children's hospital in Vermont,
where Nathan's family lives. She was released to go back home at the
end of January and will continue her treatment at Valley Children's
hospital.
In the midst of everything going on with Hazel, Gina had to rush home
for her own follow up appointment. The doctors saw what they believed
to be more cancer. She was rushed into surgery the next morning in San
Francisco. The Bahrehburgs were separated for weeks with Gina and
Hazel under hospital care and recovering.
The Bahrenburgs are living the unimaginable, and navigating it with
admirable grace. They will be fighting a fierce journey in the next
couple years, battling cancer for two family members. They have huge
medical bills and more to come. Our hockey family wanted to help! We
thought the best way was a party! A fantastic party, full of smiles
and hope. The hope, smiles, grace and strength they handle themselves
with daily. We have hired the KILLER DUELING PIANOS and Pardinis to
cater a sit down dinner, dancing, and cocktails. Tickets are $100
each, and we are limited to 100 people. You are also welcome to donate
any amount directly through the link on this page. Just click the
green TICKETS button. We look forward to supporting the Bahrenburgs in
the best way we know how, and hope you will join us!
