Fundraising efforts are underway for Kyle Stringham and family. Kyle Stringham serves as chief information security officer for Nebraska State Bank in Custer County. Kyle is battling a rare form of leukemia and developed an infection that he is currently battling as well. To aid Kyle in his recovery and to show support for his family, Nebraska State Bank is conducting a facebook auction. Betsy Smith, Assistant Vice President/Human Resources Officer for Nebraska State Bank, shared with KCNI/KBBN that a facebook page “Strong like Stringham” has been created which shows all of the auction items that are for sale.
“So this is a facebook auction and we have a page specifically for the auction. It’s called “Strong like Stringham”. There’s a lot of people (who have like it) I think we’re up to over 250 followers so there’s a good chance one of your friends probably has like the page…so go to facebook and put in the key words Strong like Stringham and then you can look at all of the auction items. You can follow the page and those will pop us in your facebook feed.”
Bidding for the facebook auction ends at 10 p.m. Thursday, March 28th.
The Fox Theater in Broken Bow will be hosting a Kyle Stringham benefit on Thursday, March 28th. The event will begin at 6:30 with a special showing of “The Blues Brothers” movie at 7:30. Stuart Fox shared with KCNI/KBBN how the event came together.
“A lot of people know that Kyle is one of the owners of the theater so we wanted to do something to support him. So I asked his wife what are some of his favorite movies. So she gave me a list and Blues Brothers was on there and I was like that’s a perfect movie. I think it would be fun with a group to get together. We decided we would do that. We reached out to the studio and the studio is actually donating so we don’t even have to pay for the rights so they are shipping that to us which is pretty cool.”
The cost to attend the event is $20 with all ticket prices and concessions sales that night being donated to the Stringham family. Kinkaider Brewing Co. will also be on site for the event with a pop up bar with all proceeds donated to the fundraising effort. Advance tickets are encouraged for the event and can be purchased online at watchthefox.com or at the theater during hours of operation.
