This year NNCCF is challenging local businesses, schools, and public figures from Senator Debbie Smith to Superman, to take flight on the Ferris Wheel at Scheels from 4 p.m. – 5 p.m. to reach a personal monetary goal.

Since November 2012, businesses, schools, churches, organizations and individuals have been raising funds for local children with cancer and their families through the Elevating Life Campaign. The finale is a 12-hour radio-a-thon event with volunteers manning the phones while Cumulus stations broadcast the event all day.
