The good news is that the doctors have said Carly’s recent surgery was very successful. The bad news is that open heart surgeries are very expensive.

In an effort to help offset medical bills from the heart procedure, the Cro XII softball team is sponsoring a taco feed fundraiser on Carly’s behalf.

If you like tacos, please consider stopping by the Croatian Hall on Saturday, Sept. 29 from 2-7 p.m.

There will be plenty of silent auctions items to bid on along with several other fundraising games.

If you don’t like tacos, or can’t make it to Carly’s Taco Feed, please consider making a donation to the Carly Krier Trust Fund at any Wells Fargo Branch.
