This Saturday, head to Mike's Bar in Sherman to help support the Mark Pierret Benefit! Mark was in a severe UTV accident in July, and his wife Amanda and young daughter Elsie have been by him every step of the way. The benefit will help cover medical bills and living costs as the family goes through the long road to recovery.
Mark is well-known around Sherman and Garretson, a hard-working young farmer who has always had a penchant for smiling and chatting. The accident left him with a severe traumatic brain injury and fractures in both his neck and wrist. He's had over 10 surgeries to correct and repair the skull, and is working hard on mobility, speech, and occupational therapy. While at Avera, doctors and nurses were amazed by his progress.
He was moved down to Omaha in mid-October for in-patient rehabilitation therapy, where he continues to improve daily. He intends to get back to his farming as soon as he can.
The benefit at Mike's Bar will begin at 12:00 p.m. on Saturday, where they will host a silent auction and a 50/50 raffle. A free-will donation supper will be held starting at 4:00 p.m., and at 7:00 p.m. a live auction will begin. Auction items are numerous, but include a cowhide, Yeti cooler, chili basket, two club tickets to PBR at the Denny Sanford Premier Center, and a custom-built fire pit.
Monetary donations for the Pierret family can also be brought to First Bank & Trust in Garretson.
