Events supporting Aaron piling up
by Ruth Roberts

The most recently planned event is scheduled for Sept. 23 from 5 to 10 p.m. at the Hanoum Estate in Oakley. Mike and Vickey Fagan, owners of Mike’s Beef ‘n’ Brew, are co-organizers of the benefit, which will include a barbecue dinner, live music and a Texas hold ’em tournament. Tickets for the event are $50 and include dinner and a buy-in for the poker tournament.

“We expect this to be a great event,” said Mike. “It’s a gorgeous spot that the owners have generously donated, so we’re hoping to gather a lot of local sponsors and donations. We’re just going to do whatever we can to help this family who has stopped everything to save their son. We want to make things a little easier.”

When told of the upcoming event, Elizabeth said she continues to be overwhelmed by the public outpouring of support.
