Popular cancer benefit returns to La Salle

It’s Booba-Palooza week in the Illinois Valley.

The annual fundraiser that raises money for families dealing with cancer starts at 4 this Saturday at Celebrations 150 in La Salle. There will be live music up until midnight along with a cash bar and raffles. On the more serious side there will be a survivor tribute ceremony and a “Wall of Warriors” with photos of people who’ve fought cancer.

This is the 7th year for Booba-Palooza. So far it’s helped to raise over half a million dollars for families in the Illinois Valley through Cops 4 Cancer. Cops 4 Cancer helps families fighting cancer pay for things like food, rent and utilities.
