Organizers of the Kylie Babcock Fundraising dance Christie Jones and Tonya Selle thank the crowd for their support on Saturday night in Verona

Thanks to the efforts of the entire Verona and area community Saturday night’s fundraising dance, “A Celebration of Strength” for 2-year-old Kylie Babcock and her family, mom and dad, Peter and Vicki and sister Taylor at the Verona Lions Hall was a resounding success.

Kylie is currently undergoing her third round of chemotherapy treatment for liver cancer at KGH in Kingston.

Organizers of the Saturday night event Tonya Selle, Christie Jones and Wendy Rose were pleased with the turn out.

The $10 ticket evening included a silent auction food and beverages, a raffle and great musical entertainment local musicians Alex Garofalo, and bands Rock Bottom and Rick Smith and Free Beer. Guests also enjoyed a late night buffet.

Thanks to Mrs. Doutre’s class at Prince Charles Public School who donated their hand made Christmas crafts. Many thanks from the orgaizers to everyone who helped out and donated items for the event.

The next fundraiser for Kylie, a gospel concert by the popular group Crimson River, takes place this Saturday Nov. 28 at the Verona Free methodist Church at 6:30pm. Admission is by donation. For more information contact Tonya at 613-376-6514
