A change in venue has been made for the Sat., April 4 benefit for Diane Ripplinger. The event now will be held at Muddy Rivers at the TownHouse in downtown Grand Forks. Muddy Rivers is at 701 First Ave. N.

NDAD is sponsoring a community fundraiser to help Ripplinger, a lifelong Grand Forks-East Grand Forks area mom of three and grandmom of four who was a hairdresser for 45 years. Diane has advanced endometrial cancer that has spread to her lungs, and she's just starting immunotherapy treatments.

The fundraiser culminates with the benefit from 4 to 7 p.m. at Muddy Rivers.

Another way to help immediately: SHARE this information today with family, friends and others who may wish to help and are unaware of the venue change.
