Good morning Tate Family,
Mrs. Shoffer’s oldest daughter, Caity, has been diagnosed with stage 3C ovarian cancer. Cicely Johns helped us create a T-shirt Fundraiser so we could try to help ease some of her family’s financial burden. From each shirt sold, $10.00 will be donated directly to support them.
You will find the fundraiser link below for anyone who may wish to purchase a shirt, share on social media, or pass along to others who would like to support their family.
