A fundraising benefit will be held on Sunday, October 3 from 2:00 p.m. until 5:00 p.m. at the Blackville Municipal Park for Derek Donahue and his family.

Derek has been battling with health issues for some time, and is currently receiving dialysis in Saint John. Just this week he underwent open heart surgery.

Funds raised will go towards travel and expenses. Derek and his wife Megan have two children, Hunter and Cheyanne.

A bbq will be available, as well as curly fries, pop and water. There will also be an auction and live entertainment.

The event will be held at the Amy Jardine Memorial Pavilion at the park – seating is limited, please bring a lawn chair.
