COMIC QUEST FUNDRAISING FOR LOCAL TEEN’S FINAL WISH
Local Teen fighting cancer for the fourth time wishes for trip to LegoLand
December 16, 2015 – Evansville, Ind. – Evansville teenager Devon Kobie has been fighting cancer since he was just 14 months old, but that has never stopped him from enjoying life to the fullest. He has been playing Pokemon and been a member of the Evansville Pokemon League for many years. Recently his cancer returned and his fight isn’t looking good. He has made a final wish to travel to LegoLand in California and Comic Quest, along with the local community, is working to help his family make that wish come true.
Another local Pokemon League member started a GoFundMe to help raise the funds Kobie’s family needs to make his wish come true. A lifetime of medical bills make a trip like this financially difficult for the family, but they have told him he will get to go. The teenager is very excited about his upcoming trip and the family hopes his high spirits will help him fight this battle with his cancer.
Comic Quest’s Pokemon League is hosting a Pokemon Tournament on Friday, Dec. 18 and all entry fees will be donated to Devon Kobie’s GoFundMe to help make his final wish become reality. The tournament sign-up begins at 5 p.m. and the entry fee is $6. More information about the event can be found on Comic Quest’s Facebook Event Page at https://www.facebook.com/events/1634375070149808/.
