"We hear countless heartbreaking but beautiful anecdotes from fans about the comfort that Polar Park provided their family while a loved one was battling cancer, and we don't take a single story for granted," said Director of Public Relations & Community Relations Alexis Dill. "On Brain Tumor Awareness Day, we seek to celebrate survivors, uplift those who are currently battling, and show families who have lost a loved one that they aren't alone in their grief."
