Penny Sale to Benefit Jeff Chandler

As many of you in our Berwicks area community may know, Jeff Chandler, a Berwick resident his whole life was recently diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Jeff is married to Gina (Valenzuela), and has a three year old son Landon.

The community has come together to host this penny sale to benefit the Chandler's. It will be held at the Middle School Cafeteria on Cranberry Meadow Road in Berwick (the old high school). It will begin at 10 a.m. and the drawings begin at 3 p.m.. There will be lots of items to choose from and it has been confirmed that the game ball from the Noble High School Football Championship will be there! Also some of Jeff's football coaches from that team have agreed to be there. Coach Suttie (now at Bonney Eagle), Coach Bickford (Head Coach at Oxford Hills) and Coach Descoteaux (Head Coach at Biddeford High) will be there to lend there support to Jeff and his family at this trying time.

For those that don't know Jeff... Jeff is a giant teddy bear that is willing to help anyone. Always with a smile on his face, he has a lot of family in the Berwick area. Jeff went to school in Berwick, graduated from Noble High in 1999, and was a big piece of the championship football team in 1997. His wife Gina and son Landon are the center of his life, and are obviously struggling with this diagnosis.

Many of you long time residents of our community remember Jeff's dad Joe, and how big a piece of our community he was. To this day, the Noble Squires give away the "Chandler Award" in his honor.

I will be away from my computer for the weekend, but anyone wanting more details should call Diane Brown (Jeff's Aunt) at 1.207.457.1703. They are also accepting small and large donations directly I hope there is a great turnout, and a big THANK YOU to all those that have helped to plan this.
