The event is in honor of Childhood Cancer Awareness Month and ribbons were handed out by members of the Strawberry Queen Court to attendees. Emily Pierce, executive vice president of the Florida Chapter, said the event is a way to help children who are currently fighting to have a moment to do what they do best: play.
