Butler Cancer Patient to Benefit From Fundraiser

Butler resident Kevin McCourt has been dealing with lung cancer since October 2011. Aggressive treatments in local hospitals and specialized hospitals in Philadelphia have been unsuccessful in limiting the spread of this devastating disease. 

On Oct. 22, from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m., McCourt's friends and neighbors will be gathering at St. Anthony's to raise funds to cover unexpected expenses.

Tickets for the event will be be sold for $30 and include a buffet dinner by Outback (steak/salmon/chicken) and entertainment will be provided by Bloomingdale musician Jimmy James. Raffle tickets are included in the cost and prizes include an iPad 3, gift certificates for a shopping spree at Shop Rite, Dinner at Trackside Bar and Grill and Dinner at Outback.

Proceeds will go to the McCourt family. Donations can be made to "Kevins Cause" and tickets will be available at St. Anthony's Parish Center, Garage Sale Treasures at 103 Arch Street, Butler, The Computer Corner at 32 Boonton Ave or by calling Sherry at 973 800-8447.
