SATURDAY – TIM BEATY ALS BENEFIT @ JOHN’S BAR
If you work in downtown La Crosse, or if you’ve ever been to the Breakfast Club & Pub, or John’s Bar…you’ve probably run into Tim Beaty.
He’s been a cook at the Breakfast Club & Pub for a long time and was recently diagnosed with ALS, a rare, terminal neurodegenerative disorder, commonly known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease.
There will be a benefit for Tim at John’s Bar this Saturday starting at noon.
The benefit is open to the public & you can stop by for food, beer, a 50/50 raffle, Chinese raffles, live music from Droids Attack, and more!
All proceeds from this benefit will go towards Tim’s medical bills and final expenses. Any remaining proceeds will be donated to ALS research and the goal to find a cure.
