When Laurissa Clancy contacted us here at the station, we knew we had to help her amplify her message. Her dad, Dan Clancy, has lost everything in a house fire recently so the community is coming together to help him rebuild.

From their Facebook Event page:

“Please come and join us and support a family who has lost EVERYTHING in a house fire. Dan Clancy and his partner Viki narrowly escaped a fire which quickly overcame their house and burned to the ground. They literally lost every single thing but the clothes on their back. They have family. Children and grandchildren whose childhood mementos went up in smoke and who have nothing left but memories of where they were raised.

The owners of Generations Restaurant in collaboration with Aaron Hay have so generously donated the venue for us to enjoy a day of fun and activities in the hopes of raising funds for Dan Clancy, his partner Viki and their family to rebuild and make new memories. You will note a Phoenix reference. This is to illustrate, like the Phoenix who rose from the ashes, so will Dan and his family to begin again.
We hope to see you at this all-day event. It will begin at 11am and run until approximately 11pm. There will be activities for the whole family to enjoy. There will be fundraising fun and games for the adults, and fun activities for the kids. We also have lined up, amazing comedic performances by professional comedians and musical performances by outstanding live bands and musical artists. It promises to be one unforgettable time surrounded by family and friends and strangers who are coming together to help this most deserving family begin again.”
