Dear Spirited Community Leaders,
As you may know, the Hites family in Mercer has recently faced the unexpected and devastating loss of their beloved family member, Kyle. Kyle was loved by friends and family alike and his passing has left a profound sadness in their lives. In his final act of generosity, Kyle was an organ donor, a selfless act that will give hope and life to others, even in his absence. We are holding a benefit dinner to help Kyle's family cover expenses so they can focus on healing. We would be honored if you would consider making a donation, either through a direct donation, a raffle basket, or gift card donation to be raffled, will directly benefit the family. Any amount you can contribute will make a significant difference.
Here are the ways you can make a donation: donate an item or service or a direct donation to the family: Contact Mercer Peewee/Midget Cheer or Football by text or call at 724-714-2714 (Amanda), 724-971-2267 (Emily) or [email protected] to coordinate in-kind donation for our raffle. We will be glad to coordinate a pickup of any donation you are willing to make.
The benefit dinner details are as follows:
Date: Sunday October 19th, 2025
Time: 4pm-7pm
Location: Mercer VFW 432 S Erie St, Mercer, PA 16137
