May 8, 2004:Wisconsin Benefit Raises over $26,000!

The family of Megan Nighbor, a 3-year-old child with Progeria, held a fun-filled Bowl-a-Thon benefit attended by hundreds on May 8, 2004 at Prairie Lanes in Markesan, Wisconsin. The all-day, all-night fundraiser featured a silent and live auction, bake sale, sponsored bowling, raffles, and much, much more! Organized by Megan's Aunt Sue Giese, hundreds of friends, family and others who heard of Megan's fight for a cure came together in a tremendous show of support for the Nighbor family and PRF's efforts.
