Fundraiser on Oct. 17 will support baby Koleson and his family
MEDINA – There will be a fundraiser on Oct. 17 from 3 to 6 p.m. at leonard Oakes Estate Winery to support newborn baby Koleson Meakin, and his parents, Brady and Dominique.
Koleson was born Aug. 31 with Lissencephaly, which is a rare, gene-linked brain malformation characterized by the absence of normal folds in the cerebral cortex and an abnormally small head.
Pam Eaton of Hometown Wellness Center is organizing the benefit to assist the family with the cost of caring for Koleson.
“They are great people,” Eaton said about the young couple.
Dominique Meakin works for Eaton as one of the instructors of the wellness center on Pearl Street.
Eaton said there has already been a strong response from the community with donations, gift certificates and baskets.
“It goes to show what a community will do for each other when needed,” Eaton said.
Eaton said people can reach out to her through Facebook or by calling (585) 409-3452 to make donations or to volunteer at the event.
The event at Leonard Oakes will include orchard rides, live music and the basket raffle.
