Wings Etc. Raising Money For Local Cancer Organizations
By Staff Report-
On Thursday, Oct. 21 all three locations will also host a Dine to Donate fundraiser where 15% of all food and non-alcoholic drink sales at the three locations will be equally divided and donated to organizations that assist cancer patients with expenses.
The three local Wings Etc. locations are owned by the Burcroff family, who personally know the need for support that cancer patients have.
Wings Etc. Huntington, Wabash and Warsaw franchisees Bryan and April Burcroff were shocked when April was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2020 after previously battling cancer two times prior, according to a news release from Wings Etc.
“April Burcroff is a huge inspiration to our family and our stores for not only beating cancer once but three times,” said Bailey Burcroff, Warsaw manager and youngest daughter of the Burcroffs.
Bailey noted that April’s strength and courage inspired a team member at the Huntington store to reach out to her and ask how they can help raise awareness and money for cancer-related expenses. In October 2020, the three stores held their first fundraiser and raised $2,500. This year, Bailey hopes to double that amount.
To help meet their goals, the three locations are accepting donations until the end of October. For a $20 donation, guests will be offered a breast cancer awareness T-shirt. Those donating any amount up to $20 will receive an awareness bracelet.
On Thursday, Oct. 21, from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., each store will host a Dine to Donate fundraiser and a raffle. The prizes will include gift cards, merchandise from local stores and a 50/50 raffle. Guests do not need to be present to win.
At the end of the month, the money raised from all three locations will be divided equally and donated to specific cancer organizations in each store’s community including Kosciusko County Cancer Care Fund, The Wabash County Cancer Society and Cancer Services of Huntington, all of which provide financial assistance to those battling cancer.
“We are so grateful to have a team and community that is so generous and wants to support our fundraiser,” said Bailey. “We hold this fundraiser annually as a way to lessen the burden for those who are already going through a tough journey, and we really appreciate everyone who is willing to help.”
