Lidup4Branden, Hotrods and Hops by Peri Hayes Branden Pettit was a caring and spirited 15-year-old. Bill Ralf offers the following background, warm-heartedly voicing, “Lidup4Branden was founded in 2020 after Branden passed away due to a head injury following a skateboard accident. It is our mission to protect children and families from the same incidents.” Hotrods and Hops is a benefit fundraiser created in support of Lidup4Branden. The evening of September 7th will entail a delicious dinner, in addition to an entertaining DJ, live music and a silent auction. “Just a great night to have fun,” Bill emphasizes. “This September would have been Branden’s 19th birthday, so we chose to honour him with this event.” “Our role in this fundraiser,” Bill stresses, “Is to allow people to hear our story and enjoy a great night out. I am not alone in organizing this event; we have countless volunteers involved.” The Elgin County Railway Museum will be facilitating the space for Hodrods and Hops. Tickets are available at the lidup.ca website, as well as directly through Bill and fellow representatives. Asked what he is personally looking forward to regarding the upcoming Hodrods and Hops, Bill earnestly replies, “I am looking forward to connecting with people and enjoying their company in support of this event and our cause.” Those with inquiries are encouraged to contact Bill by phone at 226-504-3389, or send an email to lidup4branden@gmail.com.
