Windsor gathers for family involved in I-75 brief

By/Hailey Trealout
On March 22 Windsorites came together to support local families who were involved in the accident on I-75 Jan. 31.
The three day fundraiser involved a dinner on Friday, a concert on Saturday and a kids’ day on Sunday.
Arms Bumanlag was one of the organizers of the event. He said he thought the event was a testament to what Windsor is all about.
“When the news broke in January about what happened on I-75, I knew the family very well and I knew the kids that had passed,” said Bumanlag. “You do it because you want to help and once we got going on it, it just sort of evolved. It has really become a massive fundraising weekend. There are so many of us, we’re just doing what we can.”
The accident involved 30 vehicles during a sudden snowstorm. Two Windsor children, Aidan Hicks, 7, and his stepsister, Gabrielle Greenwood, 9, died in the crash. Hicks’s mother, Kim Barrett is in intensive care. Barrett’s husband, Glen Greenwood and his daughter were released from the hospital in good condition.
All of the proceeds raised will be sent to the families. The amount of money raised is yet to be released.
