A benefit to raise funds for Dylan & Gavin’s Rainbow plans to return to an in-person event next year.

Dylan & Gavin’s Rainbow Snowflake 5K & Remembrance Weekend will take place at 9 a.m. Dec. 10, 2022 in Lehighton.

The announcement was made by Lora and Dave Krum, who are Dylan and Gavin’s parents, and also serve as co-presidents of Dylan and Gavin’s Rainbow Ministry.

“Since people are beginning to ask, we wanted to let you know that with much contemplation and discussion, our board decided last month that it would be best to hold off on our in-person event until next year,” Lora and Dave announced as part of a join statement. “We hope you will all come back and join us then, and in the meantime, please consider purchasing some raffle tickets to support our ministry and also to take a chance at winning some cash just before the holidays.”

They said raffle tickets to support their ministry are available to be purchased, with the drawing to be held this year on Dec. 11.

The Snowflake 5K was lovingly inspired by the remembrance of two brothers, Gavin and Dylan Krum, who lost their lives after fast and fierce battles with childhood cancer and its treatments.

In memory of their sons, Dave and Lora Krum created Dylan and Gavin’s Rainbow, which provides support to families with children suffering from chronic conditions.

Dylan and Gavin’s Rainbow is a nonprofit organization that reaches out to families who are experiencing a serious condition of a child, and also to families who have experienced child loss.

This is because during the very difficult days when the Krums’ boys were sick and hospitalized, they were overwhelmed with the generosity and love that surrounded them.
