We will be hosting a fundraiser with Gansett Giving on Sunday, November 2nd, for Benny Thomas. Benny is a 9 year old student at Narragansett Elementary who was recently diagnosed with CAMK2B, a rare genetic mutation, which affects brain function and neurological development. This fundraiser is to raise money to purchase a mobility van that will be able to accommodate his wheelchair.
We will be having a raffle and silent auction featuring gift certificates to local businesses, theater tickets, sports tickets, wine tastings, resort accommodations, and more! $15 suggested donation at the door. Tickets will be available at The Bike Stop Cafe beginning Wednesday, October 15th. Any business owners or managers that would like to donate a raffle or auction prize, please either leave a comment, send me a message via social media or send an email to [email protected]
For anyone who can not attend the fundraiser but would like to make a contribution, you can send your donation via venmo to and note Benny Thomas fundraiser. All proceeds from this fundraiser will go directly to purchasing a mobility van. Should we exceed our goals, the additional funds will go towards Benny's care and medical bills.
Lastly, if anyone has any contacts with a company that sells mobility vans, please let me know. This is by far the largest fundraising goal we have ever had, but I have faith in our community and believe we can all rise to the challenge to help this family in their time of need.
Thank you all for your continued support and for helping us build a stronger community
