In honor of Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, A Free Bird hosted a special fundraising event titled “A Night of A Thousand Flights”—a theme inspired by the countless dreams, hopes, and creative journeys taken by young survivors through the power of the arts. The night celebrated freedom of expression and the courage it takes to rise above adversity, one flight at a time. The event featured heartfelt moments from survivors, including a moving speech by child star and AFB alum Falyn Vega, who shared her journey with the audience. Alongside our team, Sara Coursey and I helped drive the live fundraising efforts by making calls and engaging with supporters during the event, which was streamed live across social media platforms. Childhood cancer survivors also took the stage to share their powerful stories, shining a light on the importance of creative healing and giving voice to a community that continues to inspire the world.
