Let’s wrap our friend Colton Wray & his hardworking single-mother, Brittany Cone, with our support throughout Colton’s brain cancer battle.
About this Event

Colton is a fun loving 11 year old who adores his family, his dog & fingerboarding. Colton is a fighter and has battled way more than any child should ever have to.  Although he hasn’t had the carefree life a child deserves, he has handled it with determination and strength. Colton was diagnosed in 2015 with Anaplastic Ependymoma, a very aggressive cancer (Stage 3 brain cancer). At this time Colton had a craniotomy to remove the cancer followed by 33 rounds of radiation. He continued to do well until his relapse in 2019 when he had his second craniotomy. Cannabis has been the only thing that has kept the tumor at bay. Brittany spends roughly $1,000 per month to provide Colton with cannabis daily.

 Sadly, Colton was again diagnosed a couple weeks ago with another tumor. He will have surgery Sept 19th. Since Colton has had a couple of reoccurrences, chances are it’ll keep re-emerging and surgery won’t always work for the tumors.

 We are so grateful to live in such a loving and generous community. Lets all gather to support this wonderful family both in raising spirits and raising necessary funds for the mounting costs the family is enduring on September 29th at First Place Sports Bar. There will be live music from, Oh Yes Band, as well as food and drinks from 630pm-830pm which were generously donated by The Spentzos Family. Tickets will be $100/adult and $20/children. In order to avoid unnecessary fees and make sure the money goes to Colton’s family please DIRECTLY venmo @coltons-ninja-warriors your $100 adult tickets & $20 child tickets. You may also send any additional donation amount you see fit. PLEASE TYPE out your FULL name & address to be properly thanked after event as well. We will be handing out wrist bands for fully paid guests at entry on 9/29. All funds raised will go directly to Brittany and Colton to assist with all things associated with their struggling including Medic*tion, medical care, special dietary needs, etc. The family should be focusing on healing and thriving, we can help by relieving some of that financial burden that they have been faced with. We also hope to send Colton & his family to Disney World/ Universal Studios this coming winter break! See you there!
