HUTCHINSON, Kan. — HEELO Inc. CEO and founder Shontina Tipton announced a fundraiser April 11 for the 2023 Juneteenth events.
That fundraiser will be at Spangles at 120 East 4th from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. that evening.
Twenty percent of all food and drink sales and 100% of all counter donations will support this year's Juneteenth activities through HEELO Inc.
