OUNGRE - A fundraiser will happen this week at the Oungre Memorial Regional Park Hall to assist the family of Tribune-area resident Abraham Neufeld, who died in the blizzard that struck southeast Saskatchewan on Jan. 31 and Feb. 1
The event will occur on Feb. 26. A silent auction will start at 3 p.m., a hamburger supper will be at 5 p.m. and a live auction starts at 6 p.m.
The fundraiser will support the immediate financial needs of his wife Susana, daughter Trudy and son Benny.
“The family would like to thank all the businesses and individuals that donated goods and services to make this event possible,” states a poster for the event.
The park has donated the use of the complex.
Neufeld went missing on Jan. 31 during the powerful blizzard that had hit the southeast. The tractor he was driving reportedly became stuck, and he became disoriented after trying to walk to his residence near Tribune. He was found deceased two days later near Bromhead, following an extensive search.
