On June 10, nearly 130 people spent their evening honoring the legacy of Damon Owen and raising funds for cancer patients and their families during Damon’s Rally Cap Pitch-in for Hope fundraising event. This year’s event was held in early June to celebrate what would have been Damon’s 40th birthday. 

The evening included dinner, a silent auction and a live performance from The Voice contestant Matt Snook. Area businesses and Damon’s Rally Cap supporters donated nearly 60 silent auction items, which raised more than $4,000.

After dinner, founder of Damon’s Rally Cap Charity Amy Owen-Johnson provided a few remarks about the impact Damon’s Rally Cap has had in the community. Amy introduced two individuals the charity has helped, providing supporters a firsthand look at how their donations are making a difference.

In total, the event generated more than $7,500, which will go directly to individuals battling cancer. The event has collectively raised more than $13,500 over the last two years.

Amy started Damon’s Rally Cap Charity to honor Damon’s legacy and help other families whose lives have been shattered by a cancer diagnosis. Since its inception, the charity has provided assistance to several individuals impacted by cancer, delivered a variety of Rally Packs, partnered with the KU Cancer Center in Kansas City to deliver meals to patients undergoing treatment and donated more than 100 items as well as $500 to Children’s Mercy Hospitals and Clinics. 

Thank you to event sponsors, volunteers and attendees. As a result of your generous support, Damon’s Rally Cap can help those suffering from cancer rally with hope.
