'Let’s Give Colton A Hand' fundraiser set for Nov. 19

The Lake View Loft, along with the Shabby Moose and Papa John’s Hillsboro, will be holding a public fundraiser, “Let’s Give Colton A Hand,” for 10-year-old Colton Keech of Hillsboro Sunday, Nov. 19 from 1-5 p.m. at the Lake View Loft, 10215 Jones Rd., Hillsboro.

Keech was was born without a left arm   and hand due to a condition called Ambiotic Band Syndrome. He is very active, playing football, basketball and baseball. His family believes he would benefit from a prosthetic/myoelectric arm and hand. However, his private insurance will not approve the prosthetic, which costs over $45,000.

This fundraiser will consist of a meal, silent auction, raffles, jumpy house, games for kids, etc. All proceeds will be used to purchase Keech a prosthetic arm and hand.

Silent auction donations, gift baskets and monetary donations are being accepted for the Nov. 19 event. Local restaurants are also being asked to help provide food for the fundraiser. If you are able to help in any way, please contact Lisa Pitzer at (937) 728-1635 or Denise Mootz at (513) 313-1818.
