Fundraising Dance for Empey Family

Saturday, 25 February 2017 09:20

A fundraising dance will be raising money to help a local family after their home went up in flames.

WOODSTOCK - Tickets are being sold for a fundraising dance that will benefit a local family.

All of the proceeds raised tonight will help out Terry and Paula Empey, after their home in Eastwood was mostly destroyed in a fire on January 7th 2017.

Organizer Marsha McConnell tells Heart FM there will be a toonie toss, a raffle, a penny sale and a silent auction.

"We have about 20 to 25 things in the silent auction including an autographed baseball from the Toronto Blue Jays and Dean Brody and Brett Kissel autographed CD's. The community has come together in the tonne load to donate some things for the silent auction."

McConnell says the Empey's are always there to help others when they need it.

"They don't even hesitate if someone else is in need they put themselves and put everybody else first, so I think it's time that we put them first and give them some help in their time of need."

McConnell, an employee with Woodstock General Hospital, says Terry Empey has preformed George Strait tributes to dying patients in the past.

The fundraising dance will take place at Woodstock Unifor Hall. The fun will kick off at 8pm with $10 tickets being sold at the door. You can also purchase tickets in advance by calling McConnell 519-539-0384 or Cheryl DeCoopman 519-539-8656.
