Fowlerville community comes together for Bennett Salisbury’s cancer battle
The Fowlerville community is rallying behind one of its own as the Salisbury family faces an unimaginable challenge. Bennett Salisbury, the five-year-old son of two dedicated Fowlerville Community Schools employees, was diagnosed with Wilms Tumor, a form of kidney cancer, in November. As he undergoes chemotherapy, friends, neighbors, and colleagues are stepping up to support his family with a Spaghetti Dinner and Silent Auction fundraiser.
The event will take place on Saturday, February 22, from 5 to 7 p.m. at the VFW Hall, 215 Veterans Dr., Fowlerville. This all-you-can-eat dinner is priced at $12 for adults and $6 for children (12 and under), with all proceeds going directly to the Salisbury family to assist with medical expenses and other financial burdens during Bennett’s treatment.
How You Can Help
In addition to the spaghetti dinner, the event will feature a silent auction with donated items from local businesses and community members. If you would like to donate an auction item, please reach out to Riley McGuire (mcguirer@fowlervilleschools.org) or Michelle Spisz (Spiszm@fowlervilleschools.org).
Volunteers and donations are still needed to help make this fundraiser a success! The event is still looking for 29 jars of spaghetti sauce, two trays of cookies, and one large box of utensils. If you’d like to help with food or supplies, please sign up through the Meal Donation Sign-Up here: = https://m.signupgenius.com/#!/showSignUp/10C084AACA722A2FCC16-54502507-salisbury
For those who are unable to attend the event but still want to contribute, a GoFundMe page has been set up to support the Salisbury family. Donations can be made at: https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-bennetts-brave-battle-with-cancer
The Salisbury family has expressed deep gratitude for the outpouring of love and support. As Bennett continues his battle with cancer, Fowlerville is proving that no family fights alone.
