Family and friends are
sponsoring a benefit later this month for Phillip "Punk" O'Donoghue of
Burton View. Punk worked at Eaton Corp. for 35 years and at O'Donoghue
Radiator Shop in Lincoln. He has been diagnosed with Lou Gehrig's disease
and Stage 2 lung cancer. In March he underwent surgery at Mayo Clinic to
remove a tumor from his lung, and chemo will begin soon. Future trips to
Mayo are necessary. |
Punk and his wife, Lynn, have three
children and six grandchildren. This family genuinely needs your
support.
The benefit will be at the American
Legion in Lincoln on Saturday, April 27, beginning at 1 p.m.
Highlights of the event will include a pulled pork meal, silent
auction from 1 to 5 p.m., 50-50 raffle, live auction beginning at 6
p.m. and live entertainment throughout the event.
If Punk were to be described in one
word, it would be fun. The public is encouraged to take this
day to celebrate all the fun and laughter he has brought us over the
years.
Monetary donations will be
gratefully accepted at the door, and an account has been established
at CEFCU, where donations may be made payable to the "Phillip
O'Donoghue Benefit."
