Local Business Owner Hosts Fundraiser for The Shepherd’s House in Brother’s Honor
A local entrepreneur in Fort Wayne, Indiana, dedicated a fundraiser to honor her late brother on Saturday. Jessica Fuller, owner of Fuller Plants LLC, organized the event named ‘Brian’s Birthday’ from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. This occasion marked the fourth anniversary of the fundraiser, which she initiated after her brother Brian tragically passed away from fentanyl poisoning in 2022.
Honoring Brian’s Legacy
This year, Jessica aimed to celebrate what would have been Brian’s 36th birthday. To pay tribute, she pledged 36% of Saturday’s sales to The Shepherd’s House, a local organization. “I wanted to do something impactful with my sadness after losing him,” Fuller explained. Her commitment to honor her brother’s memory through this annual event has become a significant tradition.
Community Support
In addition to the sales percentage, an anonymous donor agreed to match the funds raised during the event and provide an additional contribution. This generosity reinforces the community’s support for Fuller’s cause and enhances the overall impact of the fundraiser.
