MIAMI COUNTY, IN- Family and friends are rallying behind Fred Raider, a local Miami County business owner who was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma in 2012, by throwing a benefit dinner in his honor on July 28th. Raider has been battling health complications since he began treatment for his cancer in 2012. He is the owner of Raider Truck Repair in Denver, and also a 1974 graduate from North Miami High School. He started his own business in 1985 in Denver and had worked as an auto-diesel mechanic up until 2013 when his health deteriorated and left him unable to work. The benefit dinner will be from 4-7 p.m. July 28 at the Denver Baptist Church, 111 N Yorick St. The dinner is sponsored by the Denver Lions Club. Tickets will be sold the day of the event. Cost of tickets are adults $9, children ages 4-12 $5, and children ages 3 and under are free. Carry outs are available. During the benefit there will also be gift basket raffles as well as a 50/50 raffle. There will also be a donor drive to sign up for the Be The Match program to become registered with the National Bone Marrow Registry. If anyone has questions or would like to donate to the benefit, please contact Lisa Prior at 574-780-0069 or Theresa Hight at 765–210-7613.
