Fundraiser for James Fisher & Family

Date: Saturday, July 12, 2025

Location: Lewis S. Mills High School Cafeteria

Schedule of event: 

- Social Hour: 3 to 4 PM

- Dinner: 4 to 6 PM

- Raffle Winners: 6 PM

- Games and More: 6 to 8 PM

Join us for an evening of food, fun, and community as we raise funds for James Fisher, a beloved local dad, husband, and guitarist who is currently recovering from a serious medical emergency.

In May, James was hospitalized with a sudden illness that led to emergency surgery. He is now in recovery, but the medical bills and missed income have created a huge strain for his family. James lives in Burlington with his wife Wanda and their two kids, Ella and Ryker.

This event is a chance to support them directly and gather together for a great cause.

We are currently looking for raffle prize donations. If you or your business would like to contribute, we’d be so grateful for anything you can offer.

We’ve got a DJ! 

Huge thanks to Jake Kordas of JKo Entertainment for donating his time, equipment, and energy to our July 12 fundraiser.

He’s bringing full sound and lights, will MC the event, and is open to sharing the stage if any bands want to play. We are so grateful for his support! Learn more here: https://www.facebook.com/share/1NG6zD6WKy/

If you’d like to donate a raffle item, volunteer to help, or get involved in any way — whether that’s with setup, food prep, serving, cleanup, or entertainment — please feel free to Facebook message either of the event hosts. We’d love to hear from you!

If you can’t attend, James’ band So Long Davey started a GoFundMe to help his family through this crisis. You can donate or share it here: https://www.gofundme.com/f/james-austins-medical-crisis-your-help-needed?attribution_id=sl:44110d02-72f4-42bb-9bb4-c340c86bc339&lang=en_US&utm_campaign=fp_sharesheet&utm_content=amp13_t1-amp14_c-amp15_c&utm_medium=customer&utm_source=qr_code

Your support means everything. Let’s come together to lift up someone who has given so much to others.
