Franklin County commissioners have named April 3rd as Tonya’s Hope Day in honor of cancer victim Tonya Bridges and the fundraiser that has been named after her. The county took step at the request of American Legion Post 82 in Lanark Village which holds the annual event.
The group has held the Tonya’s Hope fundraiser since 2007 to raise money for cancer patients in Lanark Village; this year they will expand the program to help cancer patients around the county. The money raised through "Tonyas Hope" goes to help relieve some of the stress of everyday bills not covered by insurance such as - gas, tires, babysitting services, house cleaning, groceries, and utility bills.
The event, which is held at the legion post includes a yard sale, a pig roast, live entertainment and an auction.
Organizers will be visiting merchants in Franklin County over the next month asking for donations for the auction. People who would like to donate items to the cause should call 697-9533.
