Family and friends of Jim Geidner are sponsoring a benefit dinner Sept. 30 at Ciminero’s Banquet Center to help defer his medical expenses.

Geidner was diagnosed Feb. 14 with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, a condition that destroys the lungs, ultimately requiring transplantation. Geidner, a Marine veteran, is in Cleveland Clinic in need of a transplant.

Tickets for the dinner, open bar and a chance at a cash door prize are $30 each. Only 450 are available for purchase and will not be sold at the door.

The event also will include music by DJ Cliff, a basket auction, a 50-50 raffle and a surprise box purchase. For tickets, to make a donation or participate in a pre-dinner gun raffle, call Randall or Janet Lowe at 330-270-0038 or 330-774-3762 or email hotwheels6006@aol.com.
