ReRun Fundraiser Tonight Will Assist 3 Women Kidnapped in Cleveland

ReRun Consignment Shop in Avon will be hosting a fundraiser tonight, June 19, to benefit the Cleveland Courage Fund.

The Cleveland Courage Fund of the Cleveland Foundation was established by three after the rescue of Amanda Berry, Gina Dejesus and Michelle Knight, the three women held captive in a Cleveland home for a decade. The fund, so named because of the courage shown by these women, will directly benefit Gina DeJesus, Michelle Knight, and Amanda Berry and her daughter.

Owner Laura Goss said the store was approached by Unite the City which benefits shoppers and helps charities.

“We decided we wanted to do a fundraiser and keep it to a Cleveland charitable cause,” she said on how they settled on the Cleveland Courage Fund.

The fundraiser at 812 Center Road (near the railroad tracks that divide Avon and Avon Lake) will offer wine and treats, including samples from Jenni Juggs and Sally’s Westshore Pub.

Elementz Salon will provide arm and hand massages. Baskets and gift certificates will be raffled from local businesses, with 100 percent of the proceeds benefitting the Cleveland Courage Fund.

ReRun will offer extra discounts throughout the evening and donate 25 percent of sales to the Courage Fund.
