Windsor comic book store raising money for Fight Like Mason Foundation

Local businesses are joining together to raise money to fund research on childhood cancer.

A local comic book store is raising money for the Fight Like Mason Foundation for the 10th consecutive year.

Paper Heroes Comic Book Lounge & Collectibles are partnering up on May 2 and 3, also Free Comic Book Weekend, with a goal of raising more than $5,000 via a charity raffle.

Now, Fight Like Mason and Paper Heroes are calling for other local businesses to help raise money and fight child cancer.

“The call for help is out, and we’re asking for the community’s support,” said Dan Upham, project manager.

“Cancer has impacted all of us in some way. We invite everyone to visit Paper Heroes during Free Comic Book Weekend to enjoy the BBQ and purchase raffle tickets. If you can’t attend the event, tickets are available for purchase and can be given to family, friends, colleagues, and employees.”

Raffle tickets are $2 each or three tickets for $5 until the end of the day on May 3.

“In addition to our primary goal of raising money for childhood cancer research, I also wanted to highlight the incredible local businesses in our community and encourage people to support them,” said Scott St. Amour with Paper Heroes.

“When we support local, everybody wins.”
