- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 16 Apr, 2026 at 05:00 pm (-05:00)
- **Event Description**: A group of us have organized a benefit fundraiser to support Tom and Sharon with medical expenses. As some of you are aware, Tom was diagnosed with colon cancer in late October and has since undergone extensive testing and chemotherapy treatment. He continues  to receive guidance from his oncologist on the best course of treatment. Given Tom's history of heart complications, this diagnosis has taken a significant toll on him and Sharon. Despite these challenges, Tom remains committed to working although his hours have been significantly reduced due to appointments and treatments, he still tries to dedicate his time to managing the Ball Club Community Center. Those familiar with Tom and Sharon know them to be exceptionally kind and warm individuals who have been pillars to our community for years. 

We would like to invite you to join us on April 16th at 5pm at the Ball Club Community Center to support a neighbor in need. 

Dinner at 5pm and Bingo starts at 6pm.  $10 Bingo Cards-20games with a $10 coverall winner splits 50/50. Prizes for bingo with be meat packages. We will also have a silent auction as well. All proceeds will help with medical expenses. See attached flyer for further details. Miigwech
