Donations needed to help
family of heart-transplant patient

A beef-and-beer benefit to help a local family pay costly medical bills will take place on Saturday, Oct. 27, at 7 p.m. at Curran’s Irish Inn, at State Road and Longshore Avenue.
The event will benefit the Stubbs family, who live on Edmund Street in Tacony.
Robert Stubbs suffered a heart attack in January. He’s been unable to work and is on the waiting list for a heart transplant at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital. His wife, Mary Jo, is taking medication for a hole in her heart. Their 18-year-old son, John, has Asperger syndrome, a form of autism.
The benefit is being organized by friends of Mary Jo (Gallagher) Stubbs from the St. Leo Elementary School class of 1965.
Tickets cost $25 and are available for purchase in advance or at the door. Money will also be raised through a 50-50 drawing and an auction. The organizing committee is looking for prizes such as gift certificates, movie tickets and sports items.
Green ribbons will be for sale for $1 to assist the Mid-Atlantic Heart Transplant Fund.
Anyone unable to make the benefit can send a donation to Stubbs Family Benefit Fund, c/o Michael Sullivan, 889 Waterford Drive, Delran, NJ 08075-2327
