Chili event Sunday benefits local man

Things were going well for Coudersport's Dale Saulter when he was suddenly diagnosed with brain cancer just before Christmas.

The Saulter family has plenty of hope that Dale can beat the disease, based largely on a promising new medication that's very expensive and not covered by Saulter's health insurance.

Members of the Coudersport Lions Club have rallied to his support, determined to help Saulter meet the high medical expenses so he can return to his contracting job and be there for his family.

They'll be holding a Super Bowl Sunday chili and dessert benefit at the Coudersport Firehall from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Cost is $6.00 per person; senior citizens pay $5.00.

A portion of the proceeds will also go to help local children attend Camp Victory, a Lions-supported summer camp for young people with health problems.
