Fund-raiser held to help Amy McDonald
McDonald is the 19-year-old Wal-Mart employee who was critically injured when a 350-pound safe fell on her inside the store.
The benefit begins with a chili supper which will be followed by an auction at 2 p.m. There is no shortage of items which will be up for grabs.
A 27-inch TV, NASCAR memorabilia, various tools, nursery stock and even a full-blooded dog are ready to go to the highest bidder. And, in true Centertown fashion, there will also be a cow available.
“Wal-Mart donated the TV,” said benefit organizer Jimmy Roberts, who has collected auction items from dozens of local businesses. “So I was real happy to see that. Store manager Steve Phillips seems real concerned about Amy and how she’s doing.”
