Son’s Fundraiser Pays Tribute to Father Who Died from Pancreatic Cancer

Memphis, Tenn., September 4, 2019 – The Fourth Annual Will James Extravaganza fundraiser, benefiting the Memphis-based Kosten Foundation for Pancreatic Cancer Support, will take place on September 29, 2019, from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. at All About Bikes on 621 S. Mendenhall Road in Memphis, Tennessee. Last year’s event raised more than $5,000 for the fight against pancreatic cancer.

The Will James Extravaganza is free to attend and will include a bounce house, baked goods live auction, food, and refreshments. The Will James Extravaganza was created by Tommy James to honor his father who passed away from Pancreatic Cancer in 2015 and to raise funds to help find a cure for the deadly disease.

“Everyone I know has a story about a friend or loved one who has had some form of cancer,” says Tommy James, “My dad passed away from this awful disease. He was my best friend and my hero, and this event is my way of paying tribute to his memory. I hope everyone will come out to support this fundraiser and help us continue my dad’s legacy.”

The Will James Extravaganza will feature many fun activities, including a bounce house for the kids, baked goods live auction, and plenty of food, and refreshments. Guests will be able to purchase new T-shirts, delicious chili, and drinks.

Proceeds from the baked goods live auction, T-shirt, food, and product sales will be donated to the Kosten Foundation for Pancreatic Cancer Support.

“We are very thankful to Tommy and the team at All About Bikes for again including us in this annual event,” says Alan Kosten, Chairman of the Herb Kosten Pancreatic Cancer Charitable Fund. “We remain unwavering in our commitment to finding a cure for this terrible disease and support from events like this helps tremendously.”

When:          Sunday, September 29, 1 p.m. to 3 p.m.
