The “Clouds” Choir for a Cause returns to Mall of America® in memory of Zach Sobiech

WHAT: More than 5,000 people will return to Mall of America® for the largest “Clouds” Choir for a Cause on Friday, Dec. 9 in the Rotunda.

School choirs, church choirs, groups and families will come together to sing and raise funds for the KS95 for Kids Radiothon, an annual fundraiser benefiting Children’s Cancer Research Fund and Gillette Children’s Specialty Healthcare. The event is also a means to carry on the memory of KS95 for Kids ambassador Zach Sobiech.

The largest “Clouds” Choir for a Cause is part of the 18th Annual KS95 for Kids Radiothon taking place in Nordstrom Court at Mall of America from 6 a.m. – 6 p.m.

New this year, patients from Masonic Children’s Hospital who are not able to physically be on site will have the opportunity to participate in the event with the use of technology. Robots onsite at Mall of America during the event will Skype in these patients so that they can experience the largest “Clouds” Choir.
