TYLER HILL, PA — Words can’t describe the outpouring of support that marked the Weekend for Jamie Gager Benefit. From the legions of people who lent their time to help organize it to those who helped raise a large sum to offset Gager’s mounting medical bills, which have accrued from her battle with an auto-immune disease called Wegener’s Granulomatosis, the weekend was an unbridled success.

Money was raised by sponsorships for the 15 softball co-ed teams, food, drink and raffle tickets. Diehl Trucking of Tyler Hill emerged as the victor following a 5-4 win over Rich Walker’s Landscaping of Lake Ariel.
