Inspired by Ryan

On Saturday, April 18, 2026, we will be holding an art fair in memory of Ryan Luxem, an 11 year old boy who lost his battle with leukemia in 2010. During his 4 ½ year battle with leukemia, he endured intensive chemotherapy, radiation, and two bone marrow transplants. He also inspired many with his strength, faith, and compassion for others. He enjoyed art and often spent time working with a variety of mediums of art including painting, molding, and drawing. He was most well-known for his talent in origami. Ryan sold hundreds of origami pieces to raise money for causes that were important to him, including the MACC Fund for childhood cancer and related blood disorder research.
To honor Ryan’s legacy and his wishes, we are continuing his efforts to raise funds for childhood cancer research by holding an arts and crafts fair.  All proceeds from this event will be donated to the MACC Fund.
