After the jump is what I posted on January 14th relating to the much needed fundraiser to help Logan Neitman, a 1st grader at Ben Franklin Elementary School, receive the proper medical care. If you'd like to support Logan's family through this tough time, please attend his fundraiser at Root River Lanes on Valentine's Day, February 14th, from 1pm onward. If you plan on bowling please confirm with Robert Fredrickson, Logan's grandfather, by calling 414-732-1691.
If you can't make it but still want to help by making a donation, any contributions can be made at any Wells Fargo bank. The nearest Wells Fargo location is near Mitchell Airport, at 131 W Layton Avenue in Milwaukee. You can contact Robert Fredrickson with any questions, again, by calling 414-732-1691.
Thank you for your consideration, and let's band together as a community to help Logan in this difficult time.
The Franklin community in the past has been always willing to stand together with a family facing extremely difficult times. A couple of names come to my mind right away, with the Papenfuss family and the Molitor family both very grateful of what their neighbors gave to them in support their children going through difficult medical situations.
Well, today the Neitman family could certainly use your help.
The Neitmans have a son in the 1st grade at Ben Franklin Elementary School who is having a rather rough time medically. The family was just informed that Logan will need brain surgery and a bone fusion due to three different types of brain abnormalities. With only one parent working, they'll be having a difficult time with the medical expenses, and could use some assistance from us to overcome this. You can read more on Logan's story by clicking this link.
Thanks to Logan's caring grandfather, Robert Fredrickson, and other family members, a benefit has been set-up in order to raise money to help cover his medical needs. It will be held at the Root River Center, 7220 W Rawson Ave, on Valentine's Day starting at 1pm.
Donation tickets for this event are $25.00 each or Buffet/Bowling and $15.00 each for Buffet Only.
All who plan to bowl must confirm by February 7th, 2010 to ensure you
have a lane. Please confirm to Robert Fredrickson at 414-732-1691 as we
will need to confirm food as well as a bowling list.
Furthermore, a silent auction and a raffle table will be featured at this benefit.
Please help support this Franklin family by joining them at this event.
If you, your company, or anyone you may know has any items that they
are able to donate to us, any gift certificates/cards, or a gift basket
of your company product. All donations big and small are greatly
excepted, as we would be honored for you to help us out.
Please contact Robert at 414-732-1691 with any questions. Any monetary gifts can be donated at any Wells Fargo bank.
