About Benny

Bentlee (“Benny”) is a 9-year-old boy battling Stage 4 Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. He began chemotherapy on February 6, 2026 at Riley Hospital for Children and will continue treatments every other week for six months or longer until cured.

Benny and his mom, Star Hook, are part of the American Legion family through his papaw, Brian Duvelius. This fundraiser helps support travel and other expenses the family will face during this journey.

Let’s Go Team Benny!
