DEMING – Friends and community members are organizing a benefit in August to raise funds and support for a local family. Deming-area resident Tim Kelley, husband and father of six, was severely injured on July 14 after falling off of a ladder at a work site. He remains hospitalized.
The Kelley Family Silent Auction & Benefit will be held Friday, Aug. 13 from 5 – 10 p.m. at the Mount Baker High School Commons. The event includes food and a silent auction, and possibly live music from a local band.
As of press time, details for the benefit are still being worked out. In the mean time, a Facebook page called the K-Eight Project has been set up for those in the community wanting to post well wishes and follow news about Tim’s progress, the family and upcoming benefits.
Donations of items and volunteer help are sought for the event. Monetary contributions are also welcome. For more information about the benefit or how to donate, visit the K-Eight Project on Facebook, the news update section at www.foothillsgazette.com or call (360) 599-3320.
