Recently a Raffle Extravaganza was held at Hydro-Gear, Sullivan. This raffle was organized as a fundraiser for Team: Karry-on-for-Kass, Kankakee Out of the Darkness Walk, sponsored by, The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP).
Cindy Wieferich works for Hydro-Gear and was grateful for the Sullivan plant’s support by raising $2,260 toward suicide prevention.
“My daughter Kassie, lost her battle with mental illness and ended her life, she was just 21,” Weiferch said.
