Local Community BandsTogether In A Show Of Support

LEBANON, Pa. - Aug. 28, 2013 - PRLog -- On Sunday evening, a car driven by 18 year old, Beau Hewitt, lost control maneuvering a curve and struck a utility pole.  D’Kota Wolf, 18 years old, recent graduate of Cedar Crest High School, was pronounced dead at the scene by the Lebanon County Coroner. The driver and two other passengers, 17 year old female and D’Kota Wolf’s twin sister, Aicia Wolf, also a recent graduate of Cedar Crest High School, were transported to Penn State Hershey Medical Center.

Friends of Tammy Warner, mother to D’Kota and Aicia, have called on local businesses and friends to band together, in an effort to raise funds to defray the costs of D’Kota’s funeral and Aicia’s medical bills. One way the community is coming together is in the form of a Bake Sale, scheduled for Saturday, August 31st at Avon Fire Hall. Additional Bake Sale will be organized in the future as well. In addition to the Bake Sales, friends have also started coin cans in numerous local businesses as well as a GivingForward.com account for monetary donations.
