Kickin' for a Cause @ Bridget's 14th Birthday Party

Bridget's 14th Birthday
Kickin' for a Cause
Sunday, November 15th, 2026 1PM in Helen Randle Park

For the last few years, Newtown's Bridget Wittig celebrated her birthday in a big way- by hosting a kickball party to help raise funds for pancreatic cancer research.

This year is a big one- Bridget's going to be 14!!

She helps raise money in memory of her PopPop Brian Wittig and her Uncle Reverend Paul Quinter and in honor of her Aunt Jacci, who has survived the diagnosis and is still here, able to continue fighting..
Bridget explains WHY...
"My Pop Pop died of pancreatic cancer before I was born. I'm sad I never met him," said Bridget. I want to raise money to find cures so other families don't lose loved ones to pancreatic cancer like my family did."

"Instead of getting presents, I asked everyone to give money to help find cures for cancer. I'd rather have cures for cancer than more toys or clothes," she said. "It's really important to help others who are sick it you can. I felt really good raising money to help make that happen during my kickball party!"
