Around 600 Attend Caleb Adwell Fundraiser

Around 600 people attended the Caleb Adwell fundraiser Saturday night. Caleb, son of Shane and Jennifer Adwell of Ravenwood, was diagnosed with a rare form of a cancerous brain tumor. The benefit consisted of a free will donation supper along with a silent auction. There were long lines for both the food table as well as the auction table. Numerous area businesses donated goods and services to the cause.

Shane, Caleb's father, told the Express that he was grateful for the community support and that it meant a lot. Proceeds will go to pay for Caleb's medical expenses as well as other bills that are coming in. Shane Adwell said that Caleb was getting a little better and was hoping that he would be home this week.

Another fundraiser is being planned to help the Adwells. Mike's Ramblin' Country is planning a fundraiser concert on November 10th (Sunday) from 2-5 that afternoon. It will be held at the Gentry Lions Hall. There will be a $5 cover charge for the band, a 50/50 drawing, and a free will dinner.
