Make It Count For Colton

One of the smallest members of our community is suffering, and you can help Colton and his family in their race against time to find a cure. Cystic Fibrosis is a genetic disease that affects the mucous-producing organs in the body. For Colton Sholander, this means his lungs are constantly surrounded by mucous, making him very susceptible to respiratory infections. It means his pancreas is insufficient, keeping him from absorbing vital nutrients to aid in his growth. While there is currently no cure for Cystic Fibrosis, with our help it can be found! Colton and his big sister, Raelynn are counting on you, so come out, share a pizza and a hug for the family, and help us make sure that, in the future, CF will stand for CURE FOUND!! Join us for dinner, hugs, and support on Wednesday, February 19, 2020 from 4 – 10 p.m. at Big Apple Pizza & Pasta2311 S. 35th St. (across from IRSC). Dine in, take out, or delivery, 100 percent of all food and drink sold, plus staff salary and tips will go to the local Cystic Fibrosis Foundation to help find a cure for Colton. If you can’t make it in, you can also donate online at...

For The Love of Layne!

Updated: Thursday, January 25th, 2018 Big Apple Pizza owner, Scott Van Duzer, wanted the entire family to see the support they have from the community. From the fundraiser, a DJ called the mother and grandmother in the hospital so they could say some words to the crowd. “If you could see what I’m seeing and what everyone here is seeing, you would be amazed at the amount of support,” the DJ said to the crowd. “It’s been an inspiration to us and we’re truly overwhelmed by all of the support and the well wishes you’ve been sending to us,” said Leigh Chesney, Layne’s mother. She also updated everyone on Layne’s condition, saying she’s healing and her prognosis improves daily. “We were able to hear her speak [Wednesday] for the first time since the accident.
