The family of Brody Hamilton, a boy from Onalaska currently battling brain cancer, will host a fundraiser on Saturday, Oct. 19, with a dessert auction, live music, a silent auction and dinner provided by JJ’s To Go to further fund his care at Seattle Children’s Hospital.
The event will be held at the Jester’s Auto Museum and Event Center in Chehalis at 321 Hamilton Road. The doors will open at 5 p.m.
The silent auction will feature prize items to bid on such as Seahawks tickets, a three-night stay at Lake Chelan, a Derma Medical Spa gift certificate and basket, a Marin mountain bike, a Marcargi street bike, a chain saw and more.
A special raffle item put together by Brody and Tylie Tobin, another young Lewis County local also battling cancer, will be available. The proceeds from their special raffle item will go directly to the pair’s brain tumor team at Seattle Children’s Hospital to help further their research. All other proceeds will go to Brody and his family to help them through his brain cancer journey, including funding hospital bills, lodging and transportation expenses.
Dinner will be provided by JJ’s To Go, and the menu will consist of pulled pork sandwiches, potato salad or macaroni salad and a green salad. There will be a cash-only bar, and one drink ticket is included with each attendee’s meal. Further drinks beyond that can be purchased separately.
Brody is currently undergoing chemotherapy treatments and, according to his family, is responding well. They ask that people continue praying for Brody as he goes through the next round of chemotherapy.
Tickets for the fundraising event cost $40 per person, which includes dinner, one beverage and live entertainment. Tickets can be purchased through Venmo to the account BrodyStrong13. To ensure all tickets are accounted for, organizers ask that attendees include their name and desired number of tickets when purchasing over Venmo.
