Fund-raisers planned this Saturday to benefit young cancer patient

Posted on September 12, 2014

Residents will have an opportunity to patronize three fund-raisers planned this Saturday, Sept. 13, benefitting seven-year-old cancer patient Gracie Tull.

A car wash and BBQ (hot dogs) will be held from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. at Ragans Ace Hardware; a bake sale and raffles will be staged at Buckeye Community Federal Credit Union (shaded lot adjacent to the drive-thru) from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.; and Pizza Hut will donate 20% from diners’ meal costs for the day (use code: Gracie).

All proceeds will benefit Tull and her family as they travel to and from Gainesville for her medical treatments. Doctors have told her parents to expect some 29 weeks of on-going chemo, surgery and radiation therapies.

The bake sale/raffle is being sponsored by youth groups from Westside Baptist Church and St. Johns Christian Fellowship.

For more information about any of these events, please contact Tamika Freeman at 295-2761 or Christina Freeman at 843-7475.

An account in Tull’s name has also been established at Capital City Bank.
