Fundraisers are being held for a nonprofit organization and a Plant City child awaiting a bone marrow transplant.
Fist Bumps for Jax
The second annual Fist Bumps for Jax fundraiser is taking place Saturday at the Corner Store, 121 E. Reynolds St.
The Diaz family, which owns the Corner Store, is hosting the event for their 3-year-old son, Jaxon. Jaxon was diagnosed with leukemia, but is in remission and is scheduled to have a bone marrow transplant in August. The event will have live music from Benji Padgett and the Corner Store will serve food. There will be a box labeled “Fist Bumps for Jax” for anyone who would like to contribute to the family.
