Business Fundraising for Lacee Dial Memorial Fund

A Powdersville business is holding a fundraiser in memory of a Wren High School student killed earlier this month.

Lacee Dial, 17, of Piedmont was killed in a car accident in Anderson on September 15.

Cary Truett attended Wren High School and has lost friends himself over the years.

“I've been in this community for over 20 years,” he said. “I guess this kind of hit home.”

YoGo Creations in Powdersville is raising funds for the Lacee Dial Memorial Fund, according to Christie Truett with YoGo Creations.

The fundraiser will be held noon to 9:30pm on Thursday, September 27.

“People can come in in the morning, on their lunch break, in the evening,” Christie said.

YoGo Creations will donate 20 percent of all sales to the Lacee Dial Memorial Fund, she said.

A tip/donation jar will also be set up, with tips/donations also going to the fund.

If you'd like to write a check, make it out to the Lacee Dial Memorial Fund at Pinnacle Bank.

Christie said there's no set fundraising goal but she hopes to “raise as much as we can.”

“We'd love to help them out as much as possible,” she said.

There's a Facebook Page for the fundraiser, and more than 100 people have said they'll attend.

“We're expecting a large crowd, we're just not sure how big,” Christie said.

YoGo Creations is located at 3520 Highway 153 in Powdersville.
