What is Pondapalooza?
Pondapalooza is the brainchild of Mark McDaniel. It began as simple game of H.O.R.S.E. in a driveway on Wren Drive In Foxwoods Estates-North among friends & neighbors and quickly grew into the Giddy-Up Games, a fundraiser devoted to cancer research & prevention.
Like most things in life, change is inevitable, and the Giddy-Up Games evolved into Pondapalooza in 2012 when Mark relocated to the Camden Woods neighborhood, conveniently backing up to a pond. Held the same weekend as Lollapalooza, Chicago’s mega music festival, Pondapalooza is also an annual music fest, but on a slightly smaller scale, and yet jam-packed with some great local talent!
Food & drinks are included with the price of admission, as well as the opportunity to fish in the pond, check out the raffle prizes, bid on the silent auction items, and listen to the live music of some great solo artists & bands! Net proceeds from the event are donated each year to cancer research & prevention, a cause very near and dear to Mark's heart, as he, himself, is a cancer survivor.
