Fundraiser for paralyzed Guy’s Furniture owner sold out
Tickets have sold out for a fundraiser to support a local business owner after he was paralyzed playing hockey this year.
Peter Frey of Nutec Embroidery helped organize the fundraiser for Guy’s Furniture owner Larry Houle. He said the response from the community is beyond what he expected.
“We’ve just seen fantastic support from the community, matching more than we expected,” he said. “The business community and the individuals in North Battleford have really stepped up for it.”
The fundraiser is Saturday, Aug. 6 at 7 p.m. and will feature a dance, dinner and live auction. Frey said Houle is going to be at the benefit and is excited to come home from the hospital in Saskatoon for it.
