An eighth grader from the Fort LeBoeuf School  District is currently battling cancer, but the community turned out for a big show of support.

Emily Huffman is fourteen years old and was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive childhood cancer.

She is currently in Pittsburgh getting treatment. Her family and friends came together to host a benefit in her honor at St. Boniface on Sunday.

The fundraiser included a spaghetti dinner, bake sale, and Chinese auction with over 200 baskets up for grabs. 


All the money raised will help Emily and her family pay for ongoing medical bills.
