LIMA, OH (WLIO) - A young boy fighting cancer has a local business in his corner.
2-year-old Maddox Owens has been battling brain cancer for over a year. At his side has been Tat-2-U, who held a benefit today to financially support him and his family. Sales from all tattoos and piercings went towards the family, and staff wore shirts to show their support for Maddox. Owner Lumpy Howden says that the business is happy to be able to participate in charitable causes in our community.
"We're trying to do as much as we can to help him and his family. 100% of the proceeds that come in today are going towards this little boy right here. We're also doing a raffle for at least a $500 dollar certificate. And it's just for just a $25 donation you can get entered into that," commented Lumpy Howden, owner of Tat-2-U.
Donations for Maddox can be dropped off at their location at 2137 Elida Road over the next few weeks. Howden says that every little bit counts.
