A fundraiser for a boy with cancer

Hello,

If you've stumbled onto this blog, I hope you'll stay for a minute and continue reading.
A classmate of my kid's is fighting cancer. The family is facing big medical costs along with everything else they're dealing with. There is a fundraiser going on, I thought I'd post to see if anyone in Wisconsin would be interested, or you can email a donation to the family (see address below to the Luckenbooth).

This fundraising event will benefit, 11 year old, Bradley Behling just before he recieves a bone marrow transplant. His parents have given up so much time at work to be at the hospital throughout the past year, and have months ahead, yet, to spend there with him. Plus their medical bills contiue to grow.

You can help easily, and your donation will double thanks to Thrivent Insurance, who is matching dollar for dollar up to $4,000. Almost half the goal to raise $4,000 has been met. 100% of the donations/ ticket sales will go directly to the Behlings!!

You can do 1 of the following things, in the next few days, to help reach the goal! :
  • Send a check for any amount: to Luckenbooth Cafe, 1204 Mills St. Black Earth, WI 53515 (or drop it off there). Write checks to "Luckenbooth Cafe" and write "Behling Benefit" on the memo line. Checks will be collected through next Tuesday, July 21. The amount you give to the Behlings will double so even a $5 donation is worth it!!
  • Donate a ticket: Purchase online,
and call Kathy at 401-1045 to tell her you are donating a ticket, if you want to donate but cannot make it to the event. Tickets are $50, so for every ticket donated $100 will be given to the Behlings!!
  • Attend the Murder Mystery Dinner: (which Bradley and his mom will most likely get to go to!) this Saturday, 7pm, Luckenbooth Cafe, Black Earth, by purchasing tickets online or by check. Tickets are $50, and will be held there for you. (See details of the dinner below.) It will be a unique evening! Middle/high school-aged kids would enjoy this too. For every ticket sold, $100 will be given to the Behlings!!
  • Call Kathy: at 401-1045 to purchase tickets, or for any questions. She has some donated tickets to give away if you are willing to purchase at least one or more!
  • Purchase tickets online at www.luckenbooth.org

    MURDER AT THE LUCKENBOOTH!
