Fundraiser Saturday for Boy Who Was Hit By a Car

Benefit for 6 year-old Xzavier Davis Bilbo will be held at the Greendale IFL  Panther Home Opener at Greendale High School's Gavinski Stadium (football field).

Xzavier was hit while crossing the street by a driver who was texting at the time and did not see him. The boy is now paralyzed from the diaphragm down and uses a trachea tube to help him breathe. The family has been unable to afford a wheelchair accessible van to transport Xzavier. 

Guardian Ava is partnering with the IFL Panthers to raise money for the family to purchase the van. The Panthers will donate $2.00 from each $7.00 game ticket purchased to donate, along with 100% of the concession and raffle profits.
