EllieStrong Benefit Bash Set For Saturday

LEMONT, IL — The EllieStrong Forever Foundation will hold its Benefit Bash on Saturday at Heroes West Sports Grill, 1015 State St., in Lemont.

The nonprofit was created in memory of Ellie Cuiching, who died in 2019 from a brain tumor she had battled for several years. Her mom, Kyle Cuiching, created #Elliestrong Forever Foundation to help local families who have been affected by cancer.

The benefit will feature music, a silent auction, raffles, green drinks (Ellie's favorite color), free bowling, billiards and more. Tickets are $85 per person, or $100 at the door.

This event is for 21 years and older, event organizers said. There will be an appetizer buffet and open bar from 6 to 11 p.m.

The benefit is supporting two families from the area; Rigo Juarez from Homer Glen and Taylor Florey from Downers Grove.
