Fundraiser at Takoda for local Parker resident: Bad Candy to perform

The business owners in the Town of Parker are always on board to host a fundraiser to help out a local and Bob at Takoda Tavern on Hess Road in Parker is often one of the first to volunteer his restaurant and bar for these occassions.

August 27
3-7 p.m.
Takoda Tavern
12311 Pine Bluffs Way # A Parker, CO 80134

  • Entertainment provided by " Bad Candy"
  • Motorcycle wash
  • raffle
  • silent auction
  • live bachelor auction

All of the funds raised will be donated to local Parker resident Chris Virden who has been living with Lou Gehrig’s disease and his family who have quit their jobs to be able to come and care for him for the last four years. 

“Lou Gehrig’s is a horrible disease, and it is always fatal,” explained event planner Sooz Elliott, a long-time friend and massage therapist with Parker Day Spa. “Chris became completely paralyzed not long after he contracted the disease, so his brother and sister quit their jobs and moved in with him so he could remain at home. Their dedication has meant the world to Chris, but it also means that the family cannot pay for some basic needs and services that would make Chris more comfortable, such as night time care and vitamins.” Source: CCN Press Release
