A Spaghetti Dinner is scheduled on Monday June 14 at UAW Hall on Wilder @ Patterson between the hours of 3:00pm and 8:00pm.
The fundraiser is to raise money for Cuyler VanAkker.
Dinner prices are $7 for adults, $5 ages 12-18 and children under 12 can eat for free
Cuyler is a 7-year old boy who has been diagnosed with Adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD)
Cuyler lives in Bay City with his mother, Ashley VanAkker. Ashley is a single mom working at the Saginaw Bay Yacht Club (SBYC) where she has worked for eight years.
In the past year, Cuyler's health has declined -- he has had seizures and it is obvious that ALD is effecting his 7-year-old body.
Cuyler has been chosen as a candidate for a bone marrow transplant at the University of Minnesota Fairview Hospital. Ashley and Cuyler will be in Minnesota for six months during his preparation, operation and recovery.

Thanks O.J.!!!!! There will also be 50/50's and prizes. Our appointment is on June 1 in Minnesota so we will not be able to be there.
Sincerely,
Ashley & Cuyler VanAkker
