Fundraiser for Eric Bartel is Aug. 24

First Mennonite Church and M.B. Foundation are sponsoring a fundraiser for Eric Bartel on his 35th birthday, Aug. 24.

The event will be 4 to 9 p.m. at the church at Grand and Ash Sts. in Hillsboro. It will include a car cruise organized by Wichita Clear Bra, T-shirts for sale, and a smoked pork meal at 5 p.m. in the church’s fellowship hall. To-go meals will be available.

All proceeds will go toward the expenses of Bartel’s rehabilitation and ongoing needs following a serious spinal injury in April.
