🎀 Banner Waffle for Bella – Support a Local Family Fighting Leukemia

When a child in the Sequatchie Valley community faces a serious health crisis, neighbors rally. A local banner business and community members are organizing a creative fundraiser to support Bella and her family as they navigate a leukemia diagnosis-turning a simple raffle into an act of collective care.

✨ What’s Happening

Banners by Brina is hosting a “Banner Waffle”-a fundraising raffle where every $10 ticket purchased enters you to win a free 3×5 custom banner, redeemable at any time. 🎉 The twist: all proceeds go directly to Kayla and Bella’s family to help them during this difficult season. It’s a straightforward way to show support while getting a chance at a quality product.

🗓️ When

The waffle runs through October 17. 📅 Tickets are available now, and the winner will be announced when the deadline closes. Once you win, you’ll receive a coupon for your free banner-good whenever you need it.

🎟️ How to Participate

Tickets are $10 per spot. To enter, send payment via Venmo to @sabrinahixx24 and include “Bella” or a ticket emoji in the memo line so organizers know your entry is for this fundraiser. 💕 Every purchase is a direct contribution to the family’s support fund.

❤️ Why This Matters

Childhood leukemia is a long and demanding battle-medically, emotionally, and financially. Families facing this diagnosis often encounter unexpected costs: travel for treatment, time away from work, and the stress of uncertainty. When a community organizes around a family in crisis, it sends a powerful message: you are not alone, and we see you. 🩷

This fundraiser does something smart: it combines a genuine product (a custom banner) with fundraising, so participants feel they’re getting real value while contributing to a real need. It’s a model that works because it honors both the giver and the receiver.

🤝 Community Connections

Banners by Brina is using its business platform to serve the community in a moment of need. Local banner and sign businesses often become part of the fabric of small communities-they create the visual identity of local events, celebrations, and now, moments of collective support. This fundraiser shows how a local business can extend beyond transactions into genuine community care.

For residents looking to support families facing serious illness, the Sequatchie County Cancer Support Network in Dunlap offers ongoing resources and connection for those navigating cancer diagnoses. This raffle is one immediate way to help; longer-term support networks exist for families in the valley who need it.

🌟 Why You’ll Want to Be There (or Participate)

This isn’t just a raffle-it’s a moment to show a local family that their neighbors care. Whether you need a banner for a business, event, or home project, you’re supporting a family in crisis while getting something useful. And if you don’t need a banner? Buying a ticket is still a direct gift to a family facing one of life’s hardest journeys. 🎀

📢 What Happens Next

On October 17, organizers will announce the winner and send out the coupon for the free banner. The funds raised will go directly to Kayla and Bella’s family. If you’re interested in other ways to support families facing childhood cancer in the area, local churches and community organizations often coordinate meal trains, prayer chains, and ongoing assistance-reach out to your local faith community or ask how you can help.

If you’d like to participate, send your $10 Venmo payment to @sabrinahixx24 with “Bella” in the memo before October 17. 💕 Share this with a friend who might want to enter, and help spread the word that this community stands with Bella and her family. Every ticket is an act of love. 🩷
