Rally For Skylar!!!! Skylar is a beautiful 2 year old girl here in Danbury with a smile that lights up every room. She is battling two types of cancer, and is putting up quite a fight.
Skylar's family is paying for her chemo & all treatments out of pocket as the hospital she needs to treat at isn't covered by insurance. As you can imagine the bills are piling up so fundraisers like this, and generosity from people in our community are a HUGE help to the family.
On Saturday, March 7th we will be at the game with a donation table and several gift baskets to raffle off. 100% of proceeds from these raffles will go towards Skylars battle!!!!
We would like to thank the Danbury Whalers for their support and ask that you all please stop by the table, but more importantly please keep young Skylar in your prayers.
If you're interested in helping or donating please contact April Bordoy at 203-300-4621 Or gabordoy0926@gmail.com
