An indoor carnival will be held 1-4 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 1, at the American Club in Coplay.

The carnival raises money for the family of 2012 Northampton Area High School graduate Alec Ferullo, who died Oct. 8 of brain cancer.

During his illness, his father had to take an unpaid leave in order to care for him. Proceeds of the event benefit the family.

The event will include games for all ages and refreshments.
