Cadman Donovan Fundraiser is May 29

WAITSBURG-Community members are joining hands to put on a taco feed fundraiser and silent auction for longtime Waitsburg resident and Class of 2012 WHS graduate Cadman Donovan who was injured in a dirt bike accident on May 3. The dinner will take place at the Lions Club Building at the Waitsburg Fairgrounds from 4-7 p.m. on Wed., May 29.

Dinner will include tacos, salads and desserts and a suggested donation is $10/person.

Donovan suffered injuries that required him to be LifeFlighted to Sacred Heart Medical Center in Spokane when he was riding his dirt bike in the back yard, hit a piece of cement, and was flipped over the bike. He broke three ribs, cracked vertebrae 6, 7 and 8 and received 127 stitches from his eyebrow to his neck. He is now back home but has several weeks of recovery ahead of him.

Cadman is the primary breadwinner for the household which includes his girlfriend Alyssa James and their three-year-old son. The fundraiser will help ensure the household will remain in order while Cadman heals, and Alyssa takes time off work to care for him in his recovery.

A GoFundMe.com account has been set up under the Cadman Donovan medical recovery fund. Donations of salads and desserts or help with the fundraiser is welcome by contacting Donovan's aunt, Abby Grende.
