Cooper’s Carnival Raises $4,143 for CSA

By on September 22, 2015 in Uncategorized

Cooper's CarnivalThe 1st Annual Cooper’s Carnival: Christianson Syndrome Awareness Day was held on August 15, 2015 at the Harrogate City Park in Harrogate, TN. The event was hosted by Lincoln Memorial University-DeBusk College of Osteopathic Medicine student clubs in honor of Cooper Jackson, the only child diagnosed with Christianson Syndrome in the tri-state area. The purpose of the event was not only to raise funds but also to raise awareness about CS.

The day was a huge success with dozens of friends, family, and children from the community in attendance. Over $4,000 was raised with 100% of the proceeds going to CSA.

The Jackson Family would like to thank all of the students from LMU-DCOM, led by Blair Combs along with the Pediatrics and PASSAGE student clubs, for all of their hard work and dedication that made Cooper’s Carnival an amazing event. Their incredible effort far surpassed all expectations. A big thank you to the Cumberland Gap Fire Department for coming out to show their support and Heavy’s BBQ for donating a portion of their earnings from the day.

Lastly, the Jacksons would like to express their gratitude to founder and president of CSA, Debbie Nash, for traveling to East Tennessee to attend Cooper’s Carnival and address all those who were in attendance, including all of our wonderful volunteers who will carry the knowledge of Christianson Syndrome into their own medical practices someday.

2015 Loop for Luke raises over $6,000.00 for CSA

 

In June of 2013 we had the opportunity to experience CSA first hand.  Our family attended the CSA Inaugural Conference and it was life changing for us.  “Loop for Luke” was born because we wanted to help raise awareness and further the mission of Christianson Syndrome Association.  Biking is an important part of our lives, Stephen and Luke ride a specialized tandem bike that allows us to ride as a family.  “Loop for Luke” was something we could do together, it was also something we could invite others to participate in as well.  On May 31, 2014 near Baltimore, MD we held our first  “Loop for Luke” and raised $2485.00.  Last month we held our 2nd Annual “Loop for Luke” and it was an even greater success.  Our family and friends were once again so generous and they helped us raise over $6,000.00 for CSA.  We are so blessed and we want everyone who participated and donated to know that “It meant so much to us to do something we love with those we love and in turn be able to give back to CSA”.  Thank you to all of you!
