Wyomissing Restaurant to Host Fundraiser for Grace Austerberry

Grace Austerberry is the daughter of Wilson teacher and field hockey coach, Christy Austerberry.

She was recently diagnosed with Alper's Syndrome, which is extremely rare. The Austerberry's are prepared to do all they can to give Grace the best care. As a Wilson community, we want to help this loving family in their time of need. A fundraiser will be held at the Wyomissing Restaurant on September 23, from 4-8 pm, where 100% of the proceeds will be donated to the family.
