Ahmie-Palooza street fair to benefit childhood cancer research
Wednesday, August 3, 2016
The week before she passed away, she agreed to a drug trial in hopes that any information would help another child. This was Ahmie’s dying wish – to help other children fighting cancer. We have taken up the torch to push forward with her wish.
Through Ahmie’s Eyes Guild was officially founded as part of Seattle Children's Guild Association in March 2016 by Gienna Njie (Ahmie’s Mom), Marie Norton-Olsen, and Leslie Cheung.
We thought - what better way to bring together community, childhood cancer awareness, and fundraising for childhood cancer treatment research than to continue this tradition of a Street Fair and Music Festival because it's something Ahmie would love.

We are excited to announce our first official Guild fundraising event Ahmie-Palooza! This event is a re-creation of Ahmie's 14th Birthday Party where our community came together to celebrate what ended up being her last birthday party.
