Dealership holding fundraiser to help injured worker Leslie Cholowsky Editor
When Adam Forre was seriously injured in a motorcycle accident in early July this year, his coworkers at CampbellMcLennan Chrysler in Killam, where he’s been part of the team for over five years, looked for
ways to support him. Forre was taken to the U of A Hospital via STARS from the accident scene, and he remains hospitalized, still recovering from his serious injuries. Forre is looking at a long road ahead for a full recovery. The team at CampbellMcLennan say it’s been a
trying time for Forre’s family, including his three daughters and his parents. Wes Campbell, Service Manager Gerry Keyzer, and the rest of the staff are holding a fundraiser for Adam on Saturday, Sept. 25, at the dealership in Killam. The event includes a barbeque as well as a Show ‘n Shine and cruise,
a dunk tank, raffle table, pie throwing booth, and other activities, as well as a trade show in the dealership showroom, starting at 10 a.m. and running until 2 p.m. Anyone wishing to donate an item for a raffle table can contact the dealership. All funds raised will help Forre while on the road to recovery.
