Rachel Herr is a 2013 graduate of Oswego High School. She was diagnosed with Stage 2 Hodgkin's Lymphoma cancer three weeks prior to graduation. The family launched Rachel's Hope in an effort to increase awareness, to assist with medical expenses and the loss of income. It was also to share the story of how Rachel fought cancer with hope, there is joy in the journey, and to share Rachel's Hope with others.

The fundraiser will be held from 5 to 8 p.m. Friday, Oct. 18, at Emerson Creek Pottery & Tearoom in Oswego

Advance ticket purchase is required.

Event tickets are $20, and include a dinner from Fay's Pork Chop Bar-B-Que.
