Little Benson Galgar, who will be two has been suffering from a lung infection that the cause has not yet been diagnosed. He has had several hospital stays, a trip to Calgary and likely one to Toronto as well. A group of locals decided to put on a fundraiser to help defray the costs. The organizers did a bang-up job of getting securing generously donated prizes for a silent auction, preparing a lunch that consisted of chili, bun, pie and a bar stocked with refreshments. All told $14,407 was raised. The Bulyea Lions Club donated $2000, and Duval Optimists donated $1000 to help the cause.
It was heartwarming to see the Bulyea hall full of family, friends and lots of well wishes. A job well done, and our fingers are crossed, wishing little Benson’s recovery.
