Fundraisers Planned to Bring 'Smiles for Margaret'

Events scheduled to aid Hackettstown girl battling brain tumor.

Multiple fundraisers are planned in coming weeks to aid a local girl battling a brain tumor.

The Smiles for Margaret organization is sponsoring a series of events to raise money for the family of Margaret Walling, a Hackettstown Middle School sixth-grader.

Since being diagnosed in January, community members have rallied to help Walling and her family, holding a wrestling fundraiser, a special breakfast at the local Applebee’s and a series of other one-time events to raise money.
