There will be a benefit dinner for a Taylorville Police Officer’s husband who is fighting cancer. Brian Grove is the husband of TPD Officer Jody Grove and he is battling polycystic kidney disease. Grove is in need of a transplant. The family has been working towards helping him but they need the communities assistance. The dinner will take place on September 30th at the VFW in Taylorville at 515 North West Street in Taylorville. Denise Evans says it will be a great event.
Jody Grove says that there will be a $10 entrance fee including a BBQ Dinner, cash bar, music, auction, and the 50/50 auction. She says that this came out of nowhere and has hit the family hard.
Grove says they are looking for a donor and if you can’t be a donor for Brian, there are others that need a kidney as well.
Jody Grove thanked the Taylorville Police Department and the community for all their support over the last few months.
For more information on the benefit, contact Denise Evans at 638-3247 or Kayleigh Boston at 217-717-7576.
