The For Ben Food Crawl is from 2 to 5 p.m. on Feb. 28. </p>
<p>Each restaurant will have drink specials, a taste of their food, and tons of great people exploring the grid of Sacramento while supporting Ben and his family.</p>
<p>Beating levels while playing Nintendo DS, building cities with Legos, and making people smile are just a few of Ben's talents. But, that is not all he does. Ben has survived a brain tumor two years ago and now is battling secondary cancer in his spine. Intense treatments, intelligent doctors, unlimited prayers, and his close family and friends are pushing and pulling him through this tough battle.</p>
<p>Now, we have the opportunity to be part of the pushing and pulling.</p>
<p>It is our chance to purchase a ticket in support of Ben's challenge and have the opportunity to explore over 20 of Sacramento's restaurants wearing a "For Ben" T-shirt while believing, hoping, praying, and loving Ben.</p>
