The Gore Bay fire department held a very successful car wash and barbecue this past Saturday. The fundraising event was held to support Sadie Graham, a six-year-old girl from Evansville who is battling leukemia. The fire department received support from the Burpee and Mills fire department, staff and students of Charles C. McLean Public School, Deans Valu-Mart and the Gore Bay Western Manitoulin Lions Club. A total of $2,500 was raised for Sadie and her family.
