Dental office to hold fundraiser for local girl

Wednesday August 10, 2011 5:55 PM

Edwards Family Dental will hold a raffle to benefit a 4-year-old with an inoperable brain tumor.

Myah's Fight Buckeye Raffle will benefit Westerville residents Myah Knecht and her parents, Mary and Jay, who are patients of the Dublin-based dentist.

Tickets for the raffle are $5 each or $25 for six and will help offset medical expenses of the Knecht family. Items up for grabs in the raffle include a tour of the Ohio Stadium and athletic facility for up to 20 people, Ohio Stadium art and an OSU ticket package with two football, basketball and hockey tickets.

The raffle is open to the public. Edwards Family Dental is hoping to raise $2,500.

"Myah has touched our hearts forever," Tim Edwards, owner of Edwards Family Dental, said in a news release. "She is a very brave little girl and is full of fight, and we just want to help her win."

The raffle runs through Aug. 31 and the winner will be announced Sept. 1 on the Edwards Family Dental Facebook page and website. Winners will be contacted.

Raffle tickets can be purchased at Edwards Family Dental, 6235 A Perimeter Drive from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Thursday.

For more information, call the office at (614) 761-7666 or email edwardsdental@sbcglobal.net.
