University Hospital's Rainbow Babies and Children's Hospital is creating hope and healing for families impacted by pediatric cancer.
Colors for Colette is a free event hosted by the hospital annually not only to raise money for pediatric cancer but to raise the spirits of patients at the children's hospital.
Each year, the hospital is surrounded with chalk messages of love and hope to remember Colette, a little girl from Avon who died from a brain tumor just before her second birthday in 2019.
Colors for Colette has already raised $30,000 this year for pediatric cancer research happening at Rainbow Hospital as well as pediatric oncology and intensive care units, registered nurse and Colette's mother Katie Piazza told News 5.
The event will include food, crafts, and games and is Saturday from 2 to 4 p.m. at Lakeside Gardens Park near Rainbow Babies and Children's Hospital.
