Dozens from the community gathered at the Winter Garden Elk’s Lodge on Saturday, Oct. 12, for the Bradshaw Strong fundraising event to benefit West Orange High alumnus and cancer survivor Gunnar Bradshaw. Hot dogs, burgers and bratwursts were sold as well as plants. Dozens of different raffle prizes — such as sweet treats, gift cards and other items — also were up for grabs. The fun of the event culminated in a cornhole tournament. All proceeds go toward helping the Bradshaw family tackle medical bills associated with Gunnar’s cancer treatments.
