Our band, Soca Jukebox is a family within a family. Fighting for the health of children in our area is something that is near to all of our hearts. We perform many benefits for children will illnesses or with special needs every year. It’s just something that we are committed to doing.
We know that music is a healer. It brings people together, bonds them and uplifts them.
The Lowenstein family has been a part of that extended family for many years. We’ve celebrated with them in weddings, family and just fun events.
It was very easy (and an honor really) to say “Yes!” to jump in and help on this important cause. We believe that when somebody asks for help, you have to step up.
Saturday, June 17 is the second annual “Home Runs for Rose” in Cameron MO. Nationally-recognized acts like the Pure Prairie League and The Nace Brothers (along with Soca Jukebox) will be performing.
All the proceeds go to a great cause. We’ve included some info from this year’s Facebook event page to give the most information that we could. Consider coming out for a day of great music and fun and help us fight childhood cancer in our area.
What it’s all about…
Who We Are
The Rose Lowenstein Foundation for Childhood Cancer Awareness is a Missouri non-profit organization with 501(c)(3) status with the IRS. Our mission is to raise awareness for childhood cancer, while making a positive impact on families in the community who are personally affected by childhood cancer.
When our four month old daughter, Rose, was diagnosed with neuroblastoma in April 2016, friends and family helped to organize the inaugural Home Runs for Rose in support of our family. The event started out as a softball tournament, but soon grew into an all-day music festival with amazing raffle/silent auction items and a variety of other activities. We were so blessed by the outpouring of support last year, and we have now made it our life’s mission to help other families in the community currently going through their own battle with childhood cancer. By supporting The Rose Lowenstein Foundation, you help an area family fight for their child’s life by lightening their load, if even just a little. One person can raise awareness of childhood cancer, but it takes a community to make a difference. We believe in: Hope. Compassion. Love. Awareness. Cure.

Who is Rose Lowenstein?
Rose is now a fiery 1 year old from Cameron, Mo. She is the third, and youngest child of Billy and Brittany Lowenstein. She has two older siblings: Ella (6) and Harrison (4). Rose was born on November 29th, 2015 in Kansas City, Mo. On April 6th, 2016, Rose was diagnosed with Stage 4S Neuroblastoma – cancer of the nerve cells. She had a golf ball size tumor on her left adrenal gland, and the cancer had metastasized to her liver and bone marrow. On April 14th, 2016, Rose suffered an ischemic stroke in the left MCA lobe of her brain due to complications from a port. Miraculously, after five days, Rose regained full function in nearly every aspect imaginable. Even more incredibly, a scan in May showed that her tumors were regressing spontaneously, without treatment. Since the May scan, every scan Rose has had has shown continuous regression, with no treatment, and she is showing absolutely no signs of deficit from her stroke. God has truly blessed her and us, and we as her parents have made it our life’s mission to help ease the burden on other area families going through the nightmare of childhood cancer.

Home Runs for Rose: A Day for Gaige Robeson
We are excited to announce the 2nd annual Home Runs for Rose: A Day for Gaige Robeson. Gaige is the son of Scott and Brittany Robeson. He is a handsome 4 year old, recently diagnosed with a brain tumor. He has already undergone 7 high risk surgeries in a short period of time, with a long road ahead of him. Gaige has three siblings: Chloe – 13; Aiden – 9; and Remington – 2 months old. Scott is currently a police officer for the Lawson PD, working full time shifts while traveling back and forth to Children’s Mercy Hospital. Brittany grew up with him, graduating together from Cameron High School in 2002. Billy played baseball with Scott over the years. Last July, our community raised money during Home Runs for Rose that has tremendously helped our family navigate the childhood cancer world. This year, all proceeds will go to the Robeson family in an effort to ease the burden of travel and medical expenses. The event will be held at the Cameron Elk’s Lodge on June 17, 2017. Gaige’s Day will feature a softball tournament, all day live music festival, several spectacular raffle prizes and a multitude of kid’s activities including: face painters, bouncy house, Lottie Dottie – the balloon artist, and a playground. The Elks Lodge will be running their concessions and bar throughout the day and night. Aimee Ramsay with P&R Images will be photographing the entire event. This page will be continually updated as details of the event are finalized.

Investing in Hope
• 1 in 285 Children are diagnosed with some form of Childhood Cancer
• Worldwide, a child is diagnosed every 2 minutes. 1 in 5 will not survive.
• More children are lost to cancer in the U.S. than to any other disease – in fact, more than many other childhood diseases combined
• Currently, only 4% of the U.S. federal funding is solely dedicated to childhood cancer research
“We are entering an era of unbelievable scientific discovery. But if we don’t turn those discoveries into cures, we will have failed a generation of children.”
—Dr. Peter Adamson
CHAIR OF THE CHILDREN’S ONCOLOGY GROUP (COG)
The COG is funded yearly by St. Baldrick’s through their multi-million dollar cooperative research grant

Why Support Our Event?
When you have a child that is diagnosed with cancer your only thought is “what is the best thing I can do for my child at all costs.” Those costs are very real. Medical bills mount up, and often times the best treatment requires travel away from home. In addition to the primary concern of the health of their child, families end up facing a mountain of medical bills and other expenses. The goal for Home Runs for Rose is to not only raise awareness of the travesities of childhood cancer,but spread HOPE, and make a direct impact on the lives of area families who are fighting for their child’s life. Your generous support will help to ensure the success of Home Runs for Rose, so that we may in-turn lighten the financial burden and stress of those families affected by this awful disease.
