Car show for Optimist International Childhood Cancer Campaign

The Midtown Optimist Club in Independence, Missouri supported the Optimist International Childhood Cancer Campaign today by hosting a car show. Better yet, the proceeds from the annual event will benefit one particular three-year-old resident of their community: Gabriel Huffman.  Watch to learn more.



The Childhood Cancer Campaign was started to help eradicate childhood cancers through research at Johns Hopkins University. Over the years, meeting the needs of individuals has become equally important to members in local Optimist Clubs. To that end, specific fundraisers are held in communities across the US that stay right at home to help families as they care for loved ones stricken with cancer.
