This past Saturday, a tragic accident on Highway 401 took the lives of 13-year-old Alyssa Smulders and her 35-year-old uncle Marc Lafontaine.
Both were killed when a truck crossed the open median near Chatham.
In an effort to assist the family with funeral and living expenses, several benefits and a fund have been set up for those wishing to make donations.
A benefit dinner will be held at the Moose Lodge, located at 777 Tecumseh Road West on Friday May 30th at 6pm. Tickets are $15 at the door, with $10 going to the family.
A benefit Poker tournament is being held at Lauzon Landing 1545 Lauzon Road, on Saturday May 31st, at 1pm. The tournament will have a buy-in of $50, with half the prize pool going to the family. There will be additional door prizes, and a portion of all food and beverage sales are going to the family.
