Maness Family Run-Walk-A-Thon — May 14 – Fundraiser for Maness Family
Maness Run-Walk-A-Thon Fundraiser
On Sunday, April 17th, our community lost a well-loved man, Gabe Maness, in a tragedy that shocked and saddened us all but also shattered a family. On April 17th at 8 am a tragic incident unfolded at the Farm Fresh in Norge, Williamsburg. A gunman randomly shot and killed Gabe Maness in the grocery store. Gabe was shopping for donuts, which he did every Sunday to spoil his pregnant wife and five year old daughter. He was also buying supplies to take on his daughters very first fishing trip and to celebrate his 34th birthday that was only days before. They had a big day planned ahead. Unfortunately, Gabe never made it back home. Join our community as we rally together to raise money for the Maness family this Saturday May 14th. There are two big fundraisers planned. First is at Farm Fresh on Richmond Rd and the second is a car wash event at Colonial Carwash at 6950 Richmond Road, Williamsburg, 23188 (visit this link for Carwash Fundraiser) Continue reading for the Walk-a-thon and family event.
