FUN FUNDRAISER
3-Month Old Laney Holman

 


This year the Carp Classic fundraising dollars will go to the Holman family. Peter and Lisa Holman's 3-month old daughter Laney has heart complications. After a Great Falls doctor discovered heart irregularities, Laney was air-lifted to Salt Lake City Hospital where they discovered that Laney had 2 wholes in her heart. Laney cannot have the surgery until she is at least 6 months old. Laney is back home in Bozeman now but has to visit the Great Falls Hospital on a weekly basis for monitoring until she is old enough to have the surgery.
 

Peter Holman (Laney's father) is a sales representative for Atwell and Associates, manufacture sales reps for Sage, Rio, Cloudveil and other companies in the fly-fishing industry. Lisa, Laney's mother, is now unemployed staying home to watch Laney. Between the travel and medical expenses, the bills are stacking up and the Holman family could use your help.

So if you are a carp chasing enthusiast and want to help raise money for Laney, then sign up for the tournament. Great prizes will be handed to the winners of the tournament and their will some fantastic raffle prizes as well.
