After surviving testicular cancer, Frank DeBlasi founded the nonprofit, Ballsfest to provide children, young adults and families affected by cancer with uplifting experiences.

Las Vegas will host its first Ballsfest event Octobert 14, from 2-6 p.m. at the Waldorf Astoria to raise money for seven local cancer patients, or “ballers.” They are: Camden Lamb, 5; Navy Bishop, 5; Katerine Soriano, 10; Anyla Gonzalez, 10; Gavin Kilcullen, 13; Kamron Winfield, 15; and Baltazar Marquez, 19.

Tickets to the fundraising event start at $150, with sponsorship opportunities ranging from $2,000 to $5,000. For more information or for tickets, visit ballsfest.org.
