Our friend Harold Dawsey, or as most of us know him, “Hoe” is going through a tough time right now, battling stage 4 kidney cancer since November 2022. It hasn’t been an easy road, with doctor visits in both UW Madison and Rockford, rounds of immunotherapy, chemotherapy, radiation, and a few hospital stays along the way. But through it all, Hoe has kept showing up with that same steady spirit we all know and love. He’s the kind of guy who’s always been there for others – now it’s our turn to be there for him. This benefit is our way of coming together to support Harold and his family, help ease some of the financial burden, and remind him that he’s never alone in this fight. Breakfast starts at 10:30 A.M. Stevie is making his famous biscuit and gravy.
