Book Signing and Fundraiser to Benefit Local Boy With Muscular Dystrophy
Tuesday, February 24, 2015
All proceeds from the event will go Benjamin and his family to help cover the costs of a wheelchair accessible van.
Benjamin, or “B,” is young boy living with a type of muscular dystrophy called SMA Type 2. All proceeds from the event will go to him and his family to help cover the costs of a wheelchair accessible van for Benjamin.
“Reading with Robin” columnist and radio personality Robin Kall first met Benjamin at a “dough raising” even in January. She says, "We had an immediate connection and I knew right then that I wanted to do whatever I could to help make a difference for Benjamin and his family. Helping in their efforts to secure a ramp van for Benjamin's power chair is what this is all about. I hope people will join us, meet Benjamin and author Jenna Blum, decorate some cookies and maybe win a raffle prize. It's going to be a spirited experience.”
