Help Needed Nearby: Child Diagnosed With Brain Tumor

We know Weightman Middle School isn't technically in our coverage area, but we heard about this boy's story and wanted to let everyone know that this is happening right around the corner.

Aaron Klingebiel, a student at Weightman, was recently diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor. A fundraiser is being held April 13 to help his family with his medical expenses.

The event kicks off at 4:30 pm. with "tailgating," which includes $5 chicken dinners, facepainting, a cake walk and a silent auction. A performance by Kirsten Joyer and Mainstream will begin at 7 p.m. Concert tickets are $10 and can be purchased at the event.

The benefit will be held at the Wesley Chapel Performing Arts Center, 30652 Wells Road.
