ELKHART — September is National Childhood Cancer Awareness month, and what better way to support the initiative than by gathering as a community in the heart of Elkhart to raise funds and awareness for local youth?

ELKHART – The Pillars of Elkhart have partnered with the Cockopalooza committee for the 12th annual Cockopalooza cancer-fighting events happening over the next several weeks. The group, comprised of all volunteer members, will be hosting events in downtown Elkhart to support local non-profit agency, United Cancer Services of Elkhart County, focusing on juveniles battling cancer.
