(memo line: Oyster Roast)
The Benefit Oyster Roast is an annual fundraiser to benefit an individual or family in the greater Fredericksburg community. The Oyster Roast has been held annually for over 39 years and is currently sponsored and hosted by Fairview Baptist and River Club churches in conjunction with McClung-Logan Equipment Company-Fredericksburg (formerly White Oak Equipment).
Since its inception, over $1.3 million has been raised to help others in our community. The event is unique in that there is no charge to attend the event; rather donations are accepted at the door or in advance. All donations go to the family or individual(s) selected as the beneficiary, as expenses for the event are paid for by various individuals, companies, and organizations in the area.
MEET THE RECIPIENT
Sadie Sanchez
Sadie was born with non-verbal quadriplegia cerebral palsy but that has not stopped her from being a loving and happy 12-year-old girl and full of life. She requires 24/7 care for all activities of daily living. Sadie loves art, water therapy, shopping, books and adventures like camping. Her older sister, Jillian (15), has been Sadie’s protector and loving support system for Sadie, alongside her mother Chasity Musselman.
Chasity is her primary caregiver while also working full time for the Department of Social Services for both Prince William and Fauquier Counties. Chasity tries to make Sadie’s childhood as normal as possible, but it is a struggle financially and physically.
Chasity is grateful beyond words that Sadie has been selected as the recipient of this year’s Benefit Oyster Roast. Donations will go toward medical expenses including specialized equipment that will enable her mother to move Sadie around within her house and transport her to medical appointments.
