Annual Benefit Oyster Roast
Held on February 28th at the Fredericksburg Fairgrounds, 2400 Airport Ave, Fredericksburg, VA from 2:00pm to 5:00pm is our Annual Benefit Oyster Roast fundraiser to support a local community member in need. Sponsored by Fairview Baptist and River Club Churches and McClung-Logan Equipment Company.
This year’s beneficiary is Sandie Sanchez who was born with non-verbal quadriplegia cerebral palsy but that has not stopped her from being a loving and happy child and full of life. She requires 24/7 care for all activities of daily living. Sadie loves art, water therapy, shopping, books and adventures like camping. Her older sister, Jillian (15), has been her protector and loving support system for Sadie, alongside her mother Chasity.
Her mother, Chasity Musselman, is her primary caregiver while also working full time for the Department of Social Services for both Prince William and Fauquier Counties. Chasity tries to make Sadie’s childhood as normal as possible, but it is a struggle financially and physically.
Chasity is grateful beyond words that Sadie has been selected as the recipient of this year’s Oyster Roast. Donations will go toward some needed equipment that will make moving Sadie around a lot easier for Chasity.
