Scottsdale, AZ (PRWEB) March 19, 2018 -- BALLSFEST, a registered non-profit organization that lifts the spirits of children, young adults, and their families affected by cancer, is honored to announce the 8 Arizona “Ballers” (Ballers are children and young adults affected by life-threatening cancer, listed below) that will be recognized and celebrated at the inaugural BALLSFEST WEST Event at Mountain Shadows Resort in Paradise Valley, Arizona on Saturday, March 24, 2018 from 3:00pm to 7:00pm.

I feel so blessed that I can seize the opportunity to provide love and incredible dream experiences for ‘ballers’ in our local Arizona community at the first-ever BallsFest West,” states BALLSFEST Founder and cancer survivor Frank DeBlasi.

BALLSFEST WEST will raise money and awareness to provide unforgettable experiences for those facing obstacles with the disease. The term ‘BALLSFEST’ was created by BALLSFEST Founder Frank DeBlasi, a testicular cancer survivor and keen supporter of children living with cancer. *The term is a play on words, and one that reflects Frank's positive spirit during his own battle. All proceeds raised at these events benefit a “baller” battling cancer and their families.

BALLSFEST WEST will be emceed by NBC Channel 12 Host Vanessa Ramirez, and will feature upscale barbeque, live music, a “Balls To The Wall” donation wall where attendees can select a gift that goes directly to these very deserving recipients and their families, and the not-to-be missed Baller Recognition Ceremony where dreams will come true for 8 local Ballers from our Arizona community.
