A Go Fund Me fundraiser is underway this summer for Kimberly Badertscher, Ada HS and Ohio Northern graduate, according to Sharon Badertscher, her mother.
Kimberly has been scheduled for a kidney transplant at the end of July. She is responsible for 20% of the bill, a minimum of $20,000 out of pocket just for the transplant surgery itself.
There will be additional costs, such as hospital stay, any labs or testing, pharmacy medications and supplemental oxygen.
There won't be a Farmers and Merchants Picnic this year, but the planning committee will hold a raffle that you will want to have at least one ticket, maybe five, in your pocket.
Here's what you need to know about the prizes:
• 1st place - smoker/grill with Keystone Meat gift card
• 2nd place - Family Getaway to Kalahari
• 3rd place - flat screen TV
• 4th place - Firepit and bundled wood
• plus, several other prizes

Farmers will be harvesting wheat in the next few weeks, seeing the outcome of what they planted nine months ago.
However, farmers are already taking steps to prepare for the harvest, such as cleaning storage facilities and checking harvesting equipment.
Most farmers in the area will take their wheat directly to the commercial grain elevator soon after harvest. They generally save their private grain bins for corn storage.
