On Sunday, May 21, the courthouse lawn was home to various tents, tables and families who came out to support the Cotrell family. This Boston butt/raffle fundraiser was held for the family after Steven and Maisie Cotrell were injured during a serious buggy accident. Whole Boston butts were pre-ordered and sold, along with plates of Boston butt/pulled pork, baked beans, potato salad and a drink. Raffle tickets were also sold and the winners were announced.
The Cotrell family is extremely grateful for the amount of support they received from the community. Raising almost $4500, Hope Mclellan was ecstatic at the kind hearts of the people around Madison. Steven Cotrell also expressed his gratitude, stating, “We are so fortunate and blessed to live in such a caring and compassionate community! We are forever grateful for the turn out of the fundraiser and donations made for our family.”
The Steven Cotrell benefit account at the Madison County Community Bank is still open to receive donations for those wishing to give. Simply stop by the Madison County Community Bank, located at 301 E Base Street to make a donation.
