Michelle K Reynolds Memorial Leukemia Fund to Hold Annual Benefit
Thursday, August 04, 2011

The Michelle Kay Reynolds Memorial Leukemia Fund will hold its 12th Annual benefit on Sunday, August 7, 2011, from 1:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., at the LLAMA Club on Route 474, Ashville. The day will actually begin with the 2nd Annual Leukemia Benefit Poker Run which will be held at Harley Davidson on East Main Street in Falconer and end at the LLAMA Club.

The Michelle Kay Reynolds Memorial Leukemia Fund was established in the year 2000 at the Chautauqua Region Community Foundation in memory of Michelle Kay Reynolds who died in 1999 after a nearly yearlong bout with leukemia.

Michelle was a compassionate and smart woman who cared deeply for others. After moving back to the Jamestown region, Michelle was diagnosed with Acute Myelogenous Leukemia. She passed away 11 months later, and it is her family's belief that she would want them to help others in the community living with leukemia.

This year's benefit will feature a number of activities and entertainment. Live entertainment includes The Porcelain Busdrivers and live improv by Lights of Broadway.

Families and young attendants will also be able to take advantage of food, kids' games, a petting zoo, raffles, many door prizes and other items of interest. Tickets for the event are $8.00 per person and children 8 & under will be admitted free.

A full listing of activities can be found at www.facebook.com/MKRMLF. All proceeds from the event will be donated to the Michelle Kay Reynolds Leukemia Fund administered by the Chautauqua Region Community Foundation.

Since 2000, the Michelle Kay Reynolds Memorial Leukemia Fund has been able to support many leukemia patients in need. Recently, the fund has been assisting Aaron Madison, Joe Dominick, 4-year-old Lexie Snyder and Jeff Lubi.
