Please join us at Wiscasset Community Center for a spaghetti dinner fundraiser on Feb. 28.

Willow Orr is 11 years old and recently diagnosed with a rare autoimmune disorder. ANCA is an autoimmune disease affecting small blood vessels in the body. Depending on the involved organ, ANCA can cause various symptoms. In Willow’s case, the disease has affected her kidneys. She is in kidney failure, receiving dialysis three days a week, and chemotherapy two days a week, all at Barbara Bush Children's Hospital in Portland.

The spaghetti dinner will include spaghetti, red sauce, meatballs, breadsticks, salad and a beverage. Tickets are $10 for adults, $5 for children under 12, with a family option of $25 for a family of four. All proceeds go toward helping Willow’s family with daily travel expenses, food, any necessary lodging, and assist with loss of income. Dinner will be served between 5 and 7 p.m., with take out options available.

“Team Willow” and “Willow Strong” T-shirts will be available for purchase, as well as many raffle items. For up-to-date information, find the event on Facebook “Spaghetti Dinner Fundraiser for Willow”

Tickets may be purchased in advance at Wiscasset Community Center or at the door the night of the event. Please join us in support of Willow and her family. Willows bend, they don’t break.
