Several fundraisers planned for Bieber
By Tammy McCain Lonker
The Gyp Hill Premiere
The first week of September Cory Bieber suffered a stroke and remains in Wichita recovering.
Several fundraisers have happened or will be happening to assist with his expenses. On September 19th, Jack’s Mule Barn accepted donations during Taco Tuesday. A t-shirt fundraiser is sponsored by Bieber friends. Those interested in ordering a shirt can do so at https://forms.gle/rqzmaoZpctPcvRg37.
A golf tournament and chicken and noodle meal are all being planned by different organizations.
A four-man scramble golf tournament is the process of finalization. The date was undetermined as of the press deadline. The Gyp Hill Premiere will post the final details on our FB page and in next week’s “What’s Happening” column. Tee time is 9am. Lunch will be provided. The cost is $200/team. Golf cart rental is very limited according to organizers. To sign up, contact Judd Dohrmann at (620)886-1057.
A raffle will be included the day of the golf tournament. Items that have been donated so far are beef bundles by Wheelock ranch and a Blackstone grill from Charlie Swayze. Anyone (individuals or businesses) that would like to provide additional auction items are asked to contact Julie Warner at (620)886-1786.
Medicine Lodge Methodist Church will be hosting a chicken and noodle meal on Wednesday, October 25, 2023 5:30pm. A free will offering will be taken.
Warner has also asked for anyone interested in purchasing scratch tickets for Bieber to show support and encouragement. “Biebs had the best time today working on the scratch tickets we took him, we thought we'd make it a thing,” Warner stated.
Cards and/or tickets can be mailed to Julie Warner
1204 High St
Medicine Lodge, KS 67104
&/or hand delivered to Judd Dohrmann or Joe Dormann
Medicine Lodge is always there to rally around and support those who need it. Warner stated, “[We] love watching the community rally around our friend.”
