“This is a unique event for people with a passion for outdoor sports to help children with cancer,” stated Kathryn Copple, executive director for TeamConnor, in a press release. “It’s great when people combine their personal interest with an opportunity to help kids who are battling this horrific disease. Every day 43 children are diagnosed with cancer, which translates into more than 15,000 kids a year. Of those diagnosed every year, nearly 2,000 children do not survive. Working together, we can change those statistics.”
Sponsors for the event include Northwestern Mutual Dallas, WebTPA, BenefitsTexas, Partners National Corporate Real Estate Services, Vilhauer Enterprises, Forte’ Benefits, Frisco Gun Club, The Beck Group, Diversified Metroplex Investors, Frost Bank, Thompson Pipe Group, Motorcars of Dallas, Mullis Newby Hurst, ASI, Blake Brawner, and Freedom Powersports.
TeamConnor is the legacy of 8-year-old Connor Cruse of Frisco, who lost his four-year battle with neuroblastoma in 2009. Since 2008, TeamConnor has awarded more than $2 million in funding for childhood cancer research and patient programs across the country.
