Join us on July 29 at the Oberweis Dairy in Mokena, where, if you mention The Aaron Opon Memorial Fund, they will donate 20% of what you spend to the fund. All proceeds will be used to benefit Cancer Research.

When Aaron was first diagnosed in July of 2024, David immediately began searching for resources. MD Anderson Cancer Center in Texas had a doctor who specializes in the type of cancer Aaron had, cholangiocarcinoma, so we connected with him and visited him in Texas in August of 2024. At the time, Aaron was seeing an oncologist at Rush hospital in Chicago. In a lucky twist, that summer MD Anderson became affiliated with Rush Cancer Treatment Center, so Aaron’s treatment was coordinated between the two.

During this time David also reached out to the Cholangiocarcinoma Foundation, who continues to support us to this day.

Donations from the 131 Days Cancer Reseach Fundraiser will be split between these two entities: Rush MD Anderson Cancer Treatment Center and the Cholangiocarcinoma Foundation.

Please note - we need 20 people to “RSVP” for this fundraiser by Sunday, July 26, by clicking the button below, or it will be automatically cancelled. RSVPing doesn’t obligate you or cost you anything, so please register even if you are unsure or unable to make it to the restaurant that day.
