BOARDMAN
An event to honor Michael Covert and benefit the Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa Research Association of America will be from 7 to 10 p.m. today at Lanai Lounge, 7631 South Ave.
There will be a basket auction, 50-50 raffle, food and drink specials and music and dancing at the event.
Covert, who died on June 15, 2013, suffered from Epidermolysis Bullosa, a rare genetic connective tissue disorder that causes extremely fragile skin that blisters and tears easily from friction or trauma. There is no cure.
