Welcome to the Home of BenJammin Bash
The BenJammin Bash is a proceeds benefit that was created with two purposes in mind.
This event not only helps raise money for the Benjamin McAllister Scholarship Fund – financial reward for promising medical and research students – but also allows our community to come together to celebrate Ben’s spirit and legacy through his favorite things: good food, good drinks, good friends, and some rockin’ music.
In memory of Ben McAllister
Ben was a vibrant and active 23 year old living in Minneapolis after just graduating from the University of St. Thomas in 2014 when he was diagnosed with a rare kidney cancer – Translocational Renal Cell Carcinoma.
Upcoming Event
Join us at one of this year’s BenJammin Bashes to keep Ben’s spirit and legacy alive.
