Eleven-year-old Alex Leonard is bravely facing significant health challenges while living with a colostomy bag. He requires extensive therapy in preparation for reconstruction surgery in Baton Rouge, La. To support Alex and his family through this difficult journey, a benefit is being held to help raise funds to cover urgent medical expenses, including those related to his colostomy care, as well as transportation costs for his ongoing treatment and other pressing financial needs.
Join us for Alex Leonard's Benefit Event on Oct. 5, from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. at the Winona Community House, located at 113 Sterling Ave in Winona. Come enjoy great food and live gospel music featuring Family Tradition, Bloodline, From the Heart, and more.
There's fun for everyone with activities like cake and toy walks, Punkin' Dunkin, a bounce house, and face painting. Don't miss the exciting dunking booth featuring some familiar faces from our community. Winona High School Football Coach Atavis Campbell, Bro. Bobby Palmertree (Pastor at The Vaiden Cowboy Church), Winona Elementary School teachers Heather Rodgers and Iva Ruth Faulk, Montgomery County Sheriff Jeff Tompkins, and more will be taking turns in the hot seat!
Try your luck with hourly 50/50 cash drawings and raffles for a New CVA 35 Whelen Scout rifle, a queen-size quilt, and $300 cash. Browse beautiful country crafts and bid on amazing auction items starting at 6 p.m. with auctioneer Clayton Henley.
Mississippi Blood Services will be on-site from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., offering a $15 Visa card for every donor and a chance to win a 32-inch Smart TV. This benefit, sponsored by Pizza Inn & The Front Porch in Winona, is part of Alex's journey of reconstruction and living testimony to God's restoration.
Mark your calendars and bring the whole family for a day of fun and support. Everyone is welcome to come be a part of this incredible event!
