The Leopolis Booster Club will hold a benefit for Chad Akstulewicz at 1 p.m. Saturday at the Pella Park. The theme is “Fighting to be cancer free from A to Z.”
Akstulewicz was diagnosed in February with stage 3 genetically contracted colorectal cancer, which forced him to take an indefinite leave from his job. After daily chemotherapy and radiation treatments, the tumor has shrunk enough for Akstulewicz to begin a series of surgeries and an even more invasive cycle of chemotherapy treatments following surgery.
Akstulewicz, an employee of Marquis Yachts of Pulaski for many years, lives in Clintonville with his wife and two children. They purchased their home in December 2014.
The benefit will consist of a ball game, chicken dinner, silent auctions, bucket raffle, drawings, children’s bouncy and music. Money raised will be put toward Akstulewicz’s medical bills, as well as to help with living expenses until he is healthy enough to return to work.
For information, call Theresa at 715-851-5802.
