Support local business owner of The PixUpdate- we are working on a link for donations. Stay tuned! Our dear friend Rod Bigner is preparing for a life-saving kidney transplant, and our community is coming together to help ease the financial burden on his family. Since Rod’s kidneys failed in January 2024, ongoing complications, dialysis, and hospital visits have led to significant medical expenses. Even with medical financial assistance, the costs of surgery, lodging in Portland for post-op care, and lost work time add up quickly. That’s where we stepped in with the idea to support Rod and his kidney donor, local teacher Justin Roach. Sybaris Bistro is hosting a fundraiser dinner on Sunday, March 23rd at 5:00 PM, with proceeds going to the Bigner family.
