Tire Store Hosts Halloween Fundraiser for Child with Leukemia

Published: October 23, 2014

A Louisville, Ky., Big O Tires store is holding a Halloween-themed car show fundraiser to support a little girl in the community fighting leukemia.

The girl, three-year-old Abigail Carroll, was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia over the summer. Carroll’s road to recovery is long, despite having undergone several surgeries, hospital stays and chemotherapy, according to WHAS-TV.

The Halloween-themed car show will feature a costume contest, hot wheel races for children, and more, with proceeds benefitting Carroll’s family to help cover medical expenses.

The fundraiser will take place Oct. 26 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the Pamela Rae Drive Big O Tires store. To learn more, visit the Facebook event.
