Bluebonnet Electric Cooperative’s buildings and vehicles are displaying gold during September to support the fight against childhood cancer. This is the fifth year that Bluebonnet has promoted Childhood Cancer Awareness Month by illuminating its member service centers in Bastrop, Brenham, Giddings, Lockhart and Manor in gold light and adding gold ribbon decals to its crew vehicles.
“Too many families in our communities have been affected by childhood cancer,” said Matt Bentke, Bluebonnet’s general manager. “The stories of children courageously fighting this disease is what inspires Bluebonnet to support this cause every year.”
One year ago, Bluebonnet featured Viviann Snow’s battle with a neuroblastoma, a rare form of childhood cancer, in Texas Co-op Power magazine. In the past year, Snow, a vivacious fourth-grader at Smithville Elementary School, has endured surgery, treatments, tests and scans. Get an update on her current condition on the vivisvillage Facebook page and read more about the support she and her family have received at bluebonnet.coop/vivis-journey.
