Penn FC News Release
Harrisburg, PA - The City Islanders are inviting you to participate in the "All In For Ashlyn" Car Wash event on Sunday, June 26.
Ashlyn Brysiak, an 8-year-old student at East Penn School District and EPSL soccer player. Currently, she is undergoing treatment at Hershey Medical Center and has asked that the proceeds from Sunday's car wash go to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (LLS).
The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society's mission is to cure Leukemia, Lymphoma, Hodgkin's Disease and Myeloma, and improve the quality of life of patients and their families. Through the years, the organization has invested over $1 billion into cancer research. With the research and access to better treatments, survival rates for blood cancer patients have quadrupled since 1960.
In addition, the LLS Man of the Year, Matt Flinchbaugh, will be raising awareness by naming his research grant after Ashlyn. The car wash will be hosted by Kennedy Catalano Advisors Key Financial Group in conjunction with Flinchy for the Cure and Flinchy's at 3806 Market Street Camp Hill PA 17011 from 9 a.m. until 12 p.m.
All City Islanders fans and friends are encouraged to come out and show their support for Ashlyn's fight and the efforts of LLS.
