7,200 people gathered at Mall of America for "Clouds" Choir for a Cause in memory of Zach Sobiech
BLOOMINGTON, Minn. (Dec. 11, 2014) Tonight, 7,200 people joined in chorus at Mall of America for the second Clouds Choir for a Cause, paying tribute to Zach Sobiech. Last year, attendance for the event was 5,000.
The event consisted of school choirs, church choirs, groups and families coming together to once again honor Zach by singing his song Clouds along with other holiday carols.
The Clouds Choir for a Cause was part of the KS95 Kids Radiothon, a two-day event to raise money for Childrens Cancer Research Fund and Gillette Childrens Specialty Healthcare.
Zach first shared his story and music on behalf of Childrens Cancer Research Fund at the 2012 KS95 for Kids Radiothon, and he quickly captivated the world. The music video for Clouds has more than 11 million views, and more than 13 million have watched the documentary that chronicled his last days. Zach passed away on May 20, 2013.
