Haskell National Bank Chicken Spaghetti Lunch
Casey and Heather Riley held their 3rd Annual Casen’s Crew for Children’s Cardiomyopathy on August 25th.
The event is in honor of their son Casen, who died at the age of 6 months due to hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. This year’s event included a 5K run/walk and a 3 on 3 basketball tournament.
For the 1stAnnual 5K “Fun” Run/Walk, the Riley’s hoped to have 40 people sign up and ended up with more than 70. Prizes were awarded to the overall male and female and ribbons were given the 1st, 2nd &
3rd male and female in 7 different age groups. The weather turned out good for the 3rd Annual Casen Riley Basketball Tournament, which started right after the 5K. It was a fun day of friendly competition, with 8 teams and hamburgers cooked by United Supermarkets. “The events were terrific, we were so impressed by the supporters, some that didn’t know anything about us or cardiomyopathy, but were still willing to come show their support.” Heather says. In addition to entry fees for the 5K and basketball tournament, Casen’s Crew also raised money by selling t-shirts, designed by Heather, and raffle tickets for a Kindle Fire. Haskell National Bank also held a chicken spaghetti lunch to raise money for the cause.
With the help from everyone involved, this year’s community supported event has raised over $7000.
Casen’s Crew would like to thank every single person that helped, bought a t-shirt, raffle ticket or a spaghetti lunch ticket, donated money or participated in the event. You are all greatly appreciated, without your help this event would not have been possible. “The past couple of years have taught us so much about
love, kindness, faith, forgiveness and the power of God’s plan. It warms my heart to think that a child that was alive for only 6 months can do so much and make a difference in the lives of so many people” Heather
says.
This year the Riley’s have decided to give part of the proceeds to a Big Country family whose child has cardiomyopathy and is awaiting a heart transplant. The other part of the proceeds will go to Children’s Cardiomyopathy Foundation, to help with research and raise awareness of the disease.
If you would like to help with this great cause you can mail a donation to Casen’s Crew at 3050 Grand Ave, Abilene, TX 79605.
