Donate to Brandon Brave

There probably isn't a single soul in our community and beyond who hasn't been touched by our dear, sweet Brandon Brave. This 14 year old has fought cancer for 6 years and has endured it with bravery and grace. To know him is to truly know a real live angel on Earth. We are asking our friends, family, and community to come together to brighten his days and show his family we are thinking of them during this most difficult time.

1st, Let's Make it Bright for Brandon! Let's light up our homes and businesses for Christmas extra big and bright, and extra early this year. Consider adding a lighted B, Brandon, or Brave to your decorating!

2nd, Brandon is always thinking of others, especially his family. We know it would make him so happy for his family to receive gifts from his community. Please consider purchasing gift certificates from our towns' restaurants and other businesses to donate to B and his family. It's a nice way to support our community while supporting this family who has been through the unimaginable. Monetary donations would also be welcome, please make checks out to Tammy Hale.

To Donate: please contact Sonja Frei at (309)287-2279 or Heather Payton at (309)261-9386. We would like to collect your gifts by Sat. Dec. 5th. A Facebook page called Make it Bright for Brandon has been created where you can share pictures and videos of your lighted homes, as well as kind words for Brandon and his family. Thank you for helping to brighten things for this family and for our friend.
