Wichita, Kansas – In response to the tragic event at the Stryker Sports Complex on Saturday, Meddy’s restaurant teamed up with Kingdom Athletics, a local nonprofit, to create a GoFundMe campaign aimed at supporting the families directly affected.
Fundraising goal and distribution
The GoFundMe page sets a target of $10,000. Kingdom Athletics has pledged to distribute any funds raised directly to the families impacted by the incident, ensuring that assistance reaches those who need it most.
Restaurant contribution
Meddy’s is also contributing a portion of its ongoing revenue. Twenty percent of all sales from its Wichita and Salina locations will be donated to the families, with every meal purchased through Sunday adding to the relief effort. In addition, the restaurant plans to provide free meals for immediate family members of those affected.
Community call to action
“Wichita is our home. These are our neighbors. In moments like this, we take care of one another,” Meddy’s wrote on its GoFundMe page. The restaurant encourages anyone with a loved one hospitalized as a result of the incident to reach out via email for support.
How to help
Community members can contribute by visiting the GoFundMe page, dining at Meddy’s locations in Wichita or Salina, or contacting the restaurant directly for assistance. The combined effort of the fundraiser and the restaurant’s sales donation aims to ease the financial and emotional burdens faced by the families during this difficult time.
