A group of Cranbrook and area residents are rallying for a city family currently in Vancouver with their 11-month old son who is undergoing chemotherapy treatment for a rare cancer called ATRT.

To help cover the mounting costs of being away from home a fundraising auction has been organized.

“This family could use all the support we can give them. On Facebook: They have an auction page called Jaxson Campbell Auction Fundraiser and there also is a group called Jaxson Campbell Support,” said family friend and fellow Cranbrook resident Wanda Goodwin.

“Please visit these sites to see the many items that are being auctioned as well as the many ways you can help support this young family on their long journey. I know the family of Justin Campbell and Darelyn Campbell (pictured above) appreciate all that the community is doing to help them,” Goodwin related.

The Jaxson Campbell Auction Fundraiser is starting February 22 at 10 a.m. (MST) the bidding will commence; all bids are to increase by no less than $1 increments.

Bidding will end on February 29 at 10 p.m. (MST). The winner will be determined by time stamp at the end of the auction.

As for the auction itself, bidders can expect a host of awesome items thanks the generosity of donors.

“The donations are so overwhelming as they are coming in! We would like to send out a huge thank you to all! It is now Feb. 17 and we unfortunately have to end the donation giving because we now have to prepare and get ready for the auction to start! Thank you to each and everyone and businesses that have donated! We can’t wait to see how the auction turns out and let the bidding begin! Stay tuned on more information as we prepare a bit more for this coming week,” said Kelsey De Rosa Cwikowski, of the Jaxson Campbell Auction Fundraiser.

All of the proceeds collected will be given to the Campbell family in supporting their time away from home and their needs.
