Salem Crossing held a very successful fundraiser for the family of Bryce Gerlach. Bryce’s father, Scott Gerlach, works at the facility as a physical therapist.
Bryce was shot on Saturday, Oct. 12, in New Albany while attending Harvest Homecoming. He got caught in the crossfire between two shooters.
Salem Crossing offered BBQ chicken meals, with slaw and mac-n-cheese as sides, and conducted a bake sale. The hours were 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., but the meal sold out by advance orders before 9 a.m.
They sold 125 dinners at $10 each, with all proceeds going the Gerlach family. Memorial bracelets for $5 each were also available for sale through advance order.
