Benefit to raise money for teen, family
A benefit potluck dinner for the family of Christopher Beamer will be noon to 4 p.m. Oct. 12 at the Lorain County Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 54 Hall in Eaton Township.
Christopher, of Elyria, has been battling brain cancer for more than two years. He is the 17-year-old son of Deborah Beamer who works in the circulation department of The Chronicle-Telegram.
The benefit is being sponsored by Deborah Beamer’s co-workers. Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for children 12 and under. They are available at the Chronicle and by calling 329-7200. In addition to home-cooked food and camaraderie, there will be a silent auction, music and miscellaneous items for sale.
Co-worker Katie Hildebrand said the benefit is needed to help the family with the many costs related to Christopher’s illness that are not covered by insurance. Another co-worker, Carole Weegmann, said people who can’t attend may wish to donate to the Deborah Beamer Fund at any FirstMerit Bank.
The FOP is donating the use of the hall, said Lorain County Sheriff’s Capt. James Drozdowski, the group’s vice president.
The hall is at 36854 Royalton Road (state Route 82) between state Route 83 and Durkee Road.
