RAFFLE DRAW IN SUPPORT OF BABY MARCELLINUS

PLEASE READ, AND TAKE THE OPPORTUNITY TO HELP THIS
FAMILY. 

“What happens to one of us affects us all.” 

We hope you will join Avalon Music Academy of Brantford in a fundraising effort for Baby Marcellinus Kornelius. 

Baby Marcell was born in Brantford in October 2020. At one week of age, he was diagnosed with Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) - a rare neuromuscular disorder that results in the loss of motor neurons and progressive muscle wasting. It is the most common genetic cause of infant death. 

If Baby Marcell is not treated within the next couple of months, it will likely be his death sentence. 

There is a drug called Zolgensma, which is only available in the USA at this time. It is described as not only life saving, but as a life-changing miracle. It is also one of the most expensive drugs in the world, with a price tag of $2.9 million for a one-time treatment. Add hospital stays and additional treatments, and the cost jumps to around $3.9 million. 

Baby Marcell’s family applied for coverage of the drug on compassionate grounds, but they were sadly and tragically denied.

At only four months of age, Baby Marcell is showing respiratory symptoms and severe sleep apnea. Once he reaches six months of age on April 19, his symptoms are likely to become more severe. 

Please - let’s pull together to help this Brantford family. 

Avalon Music Academy is holding a raffle draw, with three prizes:
1. One set of brand new wireless headphones (see images)
2. Three months of music lessons (any instrument) for one student at Avalon Music Academy of Brantford (online or in person)
3. Local business prize package: One $10 gift cards to each of the following: Maria’s West Pizza, The Blue Dog Cafe, Sweet Bakery, Megs + Clarke, and Spool Gourmet Poutine OR, if you don’t live in Brantford, a $50 Starbucks gift card, that will be sent to you no matter where you live. 

Raffle tickets are $2/each or three for $5. Please message me for tickets. Your raffle tickets will be sent to you by email.

The draw will be held at 7:00pm on February 26, and tickets will be available until that time. The draw for the prizes will be done on Facebook Live on Avalon Music Academy of Brantford’s Facebook page. 

We are also planning an online concert, where 100% of the proceeds will be given to Baby Marcell’s family. 

100% of the proceeds for the raffle tickets will also be given to Baby Marcell’s family. 

Please, please help this family if you are able to. Your $5 can make a difference.
