Aiden Bartley fundraiser draws hundreds to Highfield Hall
BUTLER TWP — The only downside to the Aiden Bartley fundraiser Saturday, Feb. 18, was where to put everybody, as the community turned out en masse to help the 9-year-old pancreatic cancer patient.
The fundraiser at Highfield Hall from noon to 4 p.m. offered a spaghetti dinner, face painting, a balloon artist, 50/50 raffle, bake sale, shirt and bracelet sales, and 155 raffle baskets.
And it was all donated by people who want to support a young family experiencing a tough time.
People squeezed past one another to access the various features of the Bartley family’s first public fundraiser, smiling all the while.
“This is incredible,” said Megan Bartley, Aiden’s mother. “Everyone has just gone out of their way to make sure we feel supported and so does Aiden.”
