From staff reports

ARCADIA – A pancake breakfast and silent auction benefit will be held 8 a.m.-noon, Sun., Sept. 3, at Pleasant Valley Community Center for Arcadian Bernie Howard. Howard had a cardiac event at the finish line during the July Arcadia Daze 5K run/walk. He underwent triple-bypass surgery following the race and will be unable to work for up to six months.

The suggested per person meal donation is $8, and all proceeds from the event will go directly to Howard to defray medical costs and living expenses during his months-long recuperation.

Bernie Howard and his crew of family and friends have led the Chicken Dinner event at Arcadia Daze for many years, according to organizers of the benefit. “(He) gives so much to Arcadia, so this is our town’s chance to give back to him and his family,” read a statement on the group’s flyer.
