The 4th Annual Allie’s Sale raised $47,000 for pediatric brain cancer!
Allie’s Sale 2016 was a HUGE success, and it was the largest sale held in Allie’s memory. We are so grateful to all of our generous supporters and sponsors. In only four years, we have raised over $108,000 to support pediatric brain cancer research. Thank you to everyone that has made this possible!
Here is a special video message for all Team Little Owl members from Dr. Greenfield at the Children’s Brain Tumor Project.
Thank you for your support of our family, our events, and the project so dear to our hearts. We hope you take four minutes to watch.
HUGE NEWS! We are so excited to announce that the 4th Annual Allie’s Sale will be hosted indoors! This year’s sale will be held in the Valley View United Methodist Church Gymnasium (near 95th & Antioch in Overland Park) from October 6th through 8th. Clean your closets, save the date, and help us make this year’s sale the biggest yet!
The 3rd Annual Allie’s Sale raised $33,000 for pediatric brain cancer research in honor of Allie’s birthday.
Thank you to everyone that helped make the 3rd Annual Allie’s Sale such a success! It was a huge undertaking with moving the sale out of the neighborhood this year. We were blessed to have hundreds of families donating, hundreds of wonderful volunteers giving their time, and so many shoppers buying items. Thank you also to Grace Covenant Presbyterian Church and our generous corporate sponsors as well.
Allie’s life, love, and legacy reach far beyond the three years she was here with us. We hold on to each day…knowing that Al continues to make the world a better place.

Jared Coones Memorial Pumpkin 5K Run/Walk
The Jared Coones Memorial Pumpkin 5K Run/Walk is held at Black Bob Elementary in Olathe, where Jared went to school. Jared lost his battle to Leukemia when he was ten years old. Eight years later, Jared’s Mom, Jayne, lost her battle to breast cancer. Jared’s Dad, Tom Coones started the Pumpkin Run in memory of Jared and Jayne. Over the last 17 years, Tom has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for pediatric cancer research, Children’s Mercy, Ronald McDonald’s House and other beneficiares. At last year’s Pumpkin Run, Tom presented Kelly, Kyle, and Evie with the Jayne Coones Hope Award and the Pumpkin Run was a silver level sponsor of Allie’s Sale.

Natalie’s A.R.T. Foundation 5K and Family Fun Run
The Natalie’s A.R.T. Foundation 5K and Family Fun Run at the South Creek Office Park in Overland Park. Natalie was a vibrant nine year old girl who passed away from DIPG in May of 2013 after a short 8-month battle. DIPG is a sister tumor to Allie’s gliomatosis cerebri, and Natalie and Allie only lived a mile apart from each other. Natalie’s parents, Steve and Ashley, started Natalie’s A.R.T. Foundation and the 5K as a way to honor and remember Natalie. Their mission is to raise awareness, fund research and improve the treatment experience for children battling cancer. Their beneficiaries include St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital and The Cure Starts Now. Allie will be one of the children honored at this year’s 5K and Family Fun Run.
