Flat Rock, Illinois – The Flat Rock Fire Department is sponsoring a Basket Bingo Benefit for Chase Montgomery, the son of Safety Management Group Associates Scott and Alison Montgomery.

Chase, now three years old, was diagnosed last year with Celiac’s Disease (an allergy to gluten), Cystic Fibrosis, and Cirrhosis of the liver (resulting from the Cystic Fibrosis). This combination of chronic ailments makes Chase more susceptible to lung infections and requires a highly specialized diet. Frequent visits to the doctor and numerous short-term hospital stays will be part of Chase’s life as his body is brought back into a healthy state.

The Flat Rock Fire Department in Flat Rock, Illinois will be holding a Chase Montgomery Basket Bingo Benefit on October 11, 2008 at the fire department, as well as a spaghetti dinner at the same location on October 18th. A silent and live auction is also being incorporated into the October 11th event at Flat Rock. Numerous items have been collected by Safety Management Group President Kent Burget for the event from businesses in the Indianapolis area.

All proceeds from these events will go to the Montgomery family. Both Scott and Alison are from the Flat Rock area in extreme Eastern Illinois near Robinson.

The goal of the Flat Rock Fire Department is to raise $20,000 for the Montgomery family. The department is receiving calls and emails daily about the fundraiser. The auction items, such as tickets to Indiana Pacers games, passes to the Brickyard Crossing Golf Course, a suite at Victory Field at an Indianapolis Indians game, Logenberger baskets, lower level Colts tickets, autographed footballs, and various gift certificates have raised a lot of interest.

Scott and Alison joined Safety Management Group last year and relocated to the Indianapolis area.
