Elks to raise funds to help child walk

The Chickasha Elks Lodge will hold a pancake/sausage breakfast next month to benefit little Beau McKenna of Tuttle.

Beau is the 16-month-old son of Justin and Amber McKenna and little brother to 4 and-a-half year old sister Anabelle.

Beau was born with Cerebral Palsy and is trying hard to walk. The special walker he needs to strengthen his legs is very expensive, at approximately $4,000.

While the family has some insurance, they will have to pay an additional $1,400, and because of ongoing needs to care for him, money is tight.

Along with the breakfaston April 25, there will be a silent auction, which includes OU and OSU memorabilia. Cost is $4 and will be served from 7 a.m. until noon. Deliveries to local business will be made by calling 224-3205.
