NGC Supports Pediatric Leukemia Research & Ava’s Army Sugarplum Ball

The 3^rd Annual Sugarplum Ball had over 600 people in attendance, which included many NGC families. As a direct result of the Sugarplum fundraising event, Ava’s Army will make a $75,000 donation for pediatric leukemia research. A return of this magical event is slated for December 2, 2024. Thanks to everyone for your support!

NGC supports Ava’s Army, donates to the Pediatric Leukemia Research Fund and attends the Sugarplum Ball! This year’s 3rd annual Sugarplum Benefit is on Saturday, December 3, 2022 at A View on West Shores located in Waterloo, Nebraska from 5:30 – 9:30 pm. Purchase tickets online now through November 25, 2022 to attend. Again, Sugarplum Ball ticket sales end Black Friday.

This magical holiday family-friendly event is being held at a larger venue to accommodate 700 guests, and the attractions have been fantasti-rifically escalated: dessert bar, kids’ Christmas crafts & games, photo booth, fabulous music DJ for super dance floor fun, performance from Sugarplum Ballerinas, visit from Santa, professional photography, Christmas shopping silent auction, one of a kind Christmas tree silent auction, cash bar and real Disney princesses. NGC donated a Chiefs Football Tickets + Hotel Stay package for the silent auction, Scott Voorhees will be the emcee and newly crowned Miss Nebraska Natalie Pieper & newly crowned Miss Teen USA Faron Medhi will attend!

Please join NGC in funding Ava’s Army with 100% of the monies raised going towards Pediatric Leukemia Research. Together, we can change how children survive cancer, and avoid the terrible side effects of chemotherapy; this poisonous antiquated same-approach-for-over-20-years sadly results in a wide range of short and long term damage to kids’ health from neuropathy (nerve damage) to dental issues. Watch this sweet Reinert family video for an insightful explanation – a quick peek – at the tough decisions and limited choices leukemia parents face.

Brady Reinert is one of NGC’s own, he is a Project Manager, he is Ava’s dad and with his wife Amanda the family launched this important non-profit organization in 2018. Ava was diagnosed with Leukemia at age four in March 2017 followed by 800 days of treatment, ending in 2019, but left behind a multitude of adverse health effects.

If you’re unable to attend, please donate to Ava’s Army. Thank you!
