Beers was paralyzed in an auto accident earlier this year on the same street where her husband was paralyzed in an accident 12 years ago.

Experimental treatments are currently uninsured.

All funds raised will benefit these two families.

Area residents who would like space to sell their wares at the flea market may do so for a small fee.

Food, beverages and baked goods will be available at the event.

Basket drawing begins 2 p.m.
