'Party at Babs' Will Help Support Local Family

On Oct. 24, Bink and Babs will host a fundraiser to benefit Mark Howell and help with his medical expenses.

Bink & Babs Boutique in Brighton will be hosting a fundraiser to benefit Mark Howell from Brighton, who has been diagnosed with stage 4 melanoma.

On Oct. 24 from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m., a 'Party at Babs' event will include wine, snacks, and newly-stocked merchandise and 10 percent of all sales throughout the day will go to the Mark Howell Foundation to help with medical expenses.

According to WHMI, Howell is scheduled for a doctor's visit and biopsy this week to discuss his treatment options and may seek an aggressive treatment from the National Cancer Institute in Maryland, where he was almost prevented from seeking treatment during the partial federal government shutdown.
