Marietta Business to Hold Fundraiser for Paralyzed Gwinnett County Man

A metro Atlanta bakery will soon hold a fundraiser to benefit a Lilburn man, who was injured in a horrific accident in March.

The fundraiser takes place 7 a.m. - 9 p.m., May 18 at Canvas Cafe and Bakery, in Marietta. Proceeds will benefit Charles Tumulak, who was paralyzed from the neck down after falling 15 feet -- head first -- during an obstacle course race.

One of Tumulak's sisters, Leilani Townsend, said the bakery has "graciously taken it upon themselves to organize and put on this amazing event in which 100 percent of the proceeds will go to Charles."

Anything purchased during the daylong event and all monies raised from a silent auction will help defray some of Tumulak's mounting housing and medical costs.
