2025 Philly Bow Bash
November 8, 2025 · Philadelphia, PA
The most we've ever raised at a single event! The Philly community came together at Trinity @ 22nd for an unforgettable evening honoring our first family honorees—Tahj Jackson, Kraig Chambers, and their son Zane—who is now one year and six months cancer free.
"When Zane was diagnosed, Kraig and I tried to maintain our household and day-to-day life… it was nearly impossible until we met Madelyn James. They welcomed us with open arms and haven't missed a step yet! Zane is now one year and six months CANCER FREE! So tonight, we celebrate!"
— Tahj Jackson, Family Honoree

A night filled with parents, children, advocates, and friends—gathered in joy, remembrance, and hope. The City of Alexandria officially recognized May 16 as "Nico Ramirez and Madelyn James Day," honoring two beautiful lives lost too soon.
"Tonight is about honoring and it is also about celebrating. It is about honoring Maddy and Nico and their lives and their stories—making sure that we continue to tell about the impact that those children have had, not only on their families but on each of us."
