Balloon Release Fundraiser to Purchase Smoke Detectors
Lloyd, KY - Tears filled Sabrina Archey’s eyes when hundreds of pink,
white and black balloons jumped into the sky over Greysbranch Elementary School
at a fundraiser on Friday.Every child
and every teacher at Greysbranch, along with local firefighters and other
well-wishers, turned out on the windy playground to release balloons in memory
of Archey’s daughter Jensyn, and her mother, Wilma Osborn, both of whom were
killed Feb. 26 in a fire that ripped through their home in Load.The balloon release was coordinated with a
fundraising campaign that will buy smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors
to place in local homes — the hope being that future fires can be prevented. www.fundraising-ideas.org
