A fundraiser to support 4-year-old Mara Nevins of Adel and her family will be held tomorrow, hosted by the Tori’s Angels Foundation.

Mara has anaplastic ependymoma, an aggressive brain tumor. In December, she underwent surgery to resect the tumor, then had 33 rounds of radiation in Iowa City. She is currently undergoing chemotherapy treatment at Blank Children’s Hospital in Des Moines. Tori’s Angels, a volunteer organization based out of Panora, raises funds to support the families of children who have life-threatening medical conditions. They currently support 21 area children and their families, including Mara.

The event will be held at Adel-DeSoto-Minburn High School tomorrow from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. There will be a luncheon and silent auction, and all proceeds will go to the Tori’s Angels Foundation in support of the Nevins family.
