The opening ceremony will begin at 4 p.m. Tickets are $5 at the door. There will be silent auction items, including gift cards, baskets and more. Food and alcoholic/non-alcoholic beverages will be available for purchase. For more information on the event, please visit the Crown Point Fire Rescue Facebook page, @crownpointfire. 

Northwest Indiana Cancer Kids, or the NICK Foundation, is a 501(c)(3) organization founded in 2009 by a local family that experienced the impact of childhood cancer. 

“Knowing your child has cancer brings a lot of uncertainty. There is nothing like having someone to turn to who has truly been there," said Kate Perschon, NICK co-founder. 

“We are encouraging the public to come out and help us, help them. The NICK Foundation is there in our time of need when we need them," said Crown Point Fire Lt. Mark Reed.
