The food will include hot dogs, chips, drinks, dessert and a snow cone machine. A bounce house will be there for the kids, and a photo shoot will be raffled, according to Thrush.
Bethany's been through a lot, said Gina Thrush, a family friend. "She is an amazing little girl that has been in and out of the hospital for the last 4 years," Thrush said. "She has had more surgeries, treatments, blood drawn, side effects, medicine than you and I could ever imagine."
