Thank you from the Red Corner Benefit Crew
The 17th Annual
Red Corner Benefit
DEDICATED TO PENELOPE GASKINS
Saturday, October 17, 2026
2 stages, 18 bands, great food and drinks, and fireworks after dark.
Thank you to everyone who came out and made it a day to remember!
This year, we rode for
Penelope Gaskins
She’s 9 years old, she’s from Douglassville, purple is her favorite color, and she spoils two cats named Jane and Michael.
Penelope was diagnosed with osteosarcoma on February 10, 2026, and started chemotherapy right away. On April 29 she came through rotationplasty surgery. In the months ahead she’ll be fitted for a prosthetic leg and will continue chemo into late fall.
In between treatments, she’s still doing Penelope things – Girl Scouts, swimming, arcade games, and bike rides with her parents and her 15-year-old sister, Emily. Her family has been beside her for every step of it, and on October 17 the whole Red Corner community stood beside her too.
That day was for Penelope.
Thank you for spending it with her.
THANK YOU
To every guest, band, chef, sponsor, donor, and volunteer: you made this happen.
All proceeds go directly to Penelope and her family.
