Friends of a single mom from Port Coquitlam who's battling brain cancer are rallying to help her beat the disease.
The group calls itself "Help Rara Kick Cancer's Butt," has a Facebook page with the same name and is hosting a fundraiser next Friday for Robin Poussard, a longtime PoCo resident with two children.
The March 18 pub night at the Cat and Fiddle Pub (1979 Brown St., PoCo) starts at 6 p.m. and tickets cost $12, which includes a choice of burger/pasta or ginger beef bowl along with a drink. There will be 50/50 draw, silent auction and a twoonie toss plus many door prizes.
If you are interested in purchasing tickets for the fundraiser, call Colleen at 778-580-7376 or Candice at 604-727-1479.
As well, the Rara group has set up an account to take donations at VanCity Branch 18 (Pinetree) in Coquitlam (transit no. 16380, institution no. 809, account no. 410 426 528). Donations can also be mailed to: Robin Poussard in trust, c/o 300-906 Roderick Ave., Coquitlam, B.C. V3K 1R1.
