NORTH WHITEHALL TOWNSHIP, Pa. – A Lehigh Valley nonprofit is raising money to help families dealing with pediatric cancer.<\/p>\n
Leo’s League Pediatric Cancer Fund held its 4th annual Fund-Fest at the Schnecksville Fire Company in North Whitehall Township on Saturday.<\/p>\n
The event was the biggest fundraiser of the year for the nonprofit, which provides financial support to local families with children battling cancer.<\/p>\n
There were all kinds of family-fun activities, including a car show and wood-crafting tables for the kids.<\/p>\n
“What do we have? Piggy banks! Piggy banks. We have baby sheep snuggling. We have mini-cows here. We’ll have pony rides,” said Leo’s parents, Andrea and Daniel Kushnir.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The nonprofit was started by Leo’s mom as a way to pay it forward.<\/p>\n
Leo was diagnosed with cancer at just two years old.<\/p>\n
He is currently in remission.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"NORTH WHITEHALL TOWNSHIP, Pa. – A Lehigh Valley nonprofit is raising money to help families dealing with pediatric…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":188294,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[214,119,121,120,232],"class_list":["post-188293","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-allentown","tag-_homepage_top_stories","tag-allentown","tag-allentown-headlines","tag-allentown-news","tag-allentown-area"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/188293","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=188293"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/188293\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/188294"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=188293"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=188293"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=188293"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
