There will be a benefit held July 4th, 2009, for Ashton Feddersen at the Fire Station in Battle Creek following the parade.
Ashton is the 5 year old daughter of Kevin and Kristine Feddersen of rural Battle Creek. She was diagnosed with leukemia of February 23, 2009. The benefit is being held to raise money to pay for expenses due to the continuing leukemia treatments. There will be a bake sale that morning, a lunch following the parade, and a silent auction during both events.
If anyone would be interested in donating baked goods to the bake sale or new or near-new items for the silent auction, please contact either Kathy Petersen at 373-5570 or Jana Hamann at 373-9772 for more information or to have the items delivered to Battle Creek.
