Every year, the Ponca City Noon Lions Club assists children with cancer through their Pediatric Cancer Project. The Ponca City Noon Lions has selected to help Julianna Grace Creamer in her fight against an atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumor (AT/RT).
AT/RT is a very rare and fast-growing tumor that usually takes the from of a brain tumor, but can occur anywhere in the central nervous system. Around 30 new cases are diagnosed every year in the US or about three in 1,000,000. AT/ TR accounts for 3% of pediatric cancers of the central nervous system.
Juliana was diagnosed on Sept. 24, 2020, just five days after her sixth birthday. The most recent tumor is on her spinal cord and has taken use of her legs.
The family has set up an Amazon Wish List link on their page “Saving Juliana Grace” which includes more details about efforts to help Juliana and her family.
Additionally, the Lions have set up donation jars for Juliana at all Equity Bank locations in town. They will be collecting donations through July 31.
Donations can also me made via the Ponca City Noon Lions Club’s page via PayPal.

JULY 4TH CELEBRATION AT LAKE PONCA

The City of Ponca City’s free fireworks display at Lake Ponca will be held on Thursday, July 4 at 9:50 p.m. The colorful pyrotechnic and musically choreographed fireworks show will fill the night skies over beautiful Lake Ponca to celebrate Independence Day. The fireworks will be choreographed to music and can be heard by turning to local radio station KPNC-FM 100.7 or KLOR 99.3 FM.

A safety zone will be buoyed off on Lake Ponca beginning at approximately 7:00 p.m. on July 4. If you are in a water craft on Lake Ponca after 7:00 p.m., please stay out of the buoyed off area until the fireworks and the buoys have been removed.

Please remember: Private fireworks are not allowed on or around the Lake Ponca Recreation Area or any of the roadways or water areas around Lake Ponca.

As a reminder, in an effort to maximize the amount of space for citizens to set up an area to picnic and gather, there are changes to the parking at Lake Ponca for the 4th of July Celebration.

The grassy area directly across from the swim beach will have a limited amount of space for cars to park, and will be first come, first served, no reserving spots. The paved parking along the beach will be reserved for handicapped parking and mobile food vendors.

Once those areas, and the other parking areas are full, the overflow parking will be on the east side of L.A. Cann, north of the Sailboat Marina. The attached map shows the areas described.
