Earlier this summer, two-year old Drew Albritton came face to face with a scary diagnosis. Drew was diagnosed with neuroblastoma on July 29th.
Drew is the son of Mike and Elizabeth Carroll Albritton, the grandson of Dean and Carolyn Carroll, and the great grandson of Mary and Gordon Hill. Drew’s grandparents still live in Dexter, and his great grandparents, Mary and Gordon Hill live in Central Gardens Residential Care Facility in Dexter.
Drew has a very wide support team gathered around him during his time of need, but there can never be too many donations, words of encouragement to the family, and prayers for Drew and everyone involved in his road to recovery.
Recently, a t-shirt fundraiser for Drew has been initiated. The sales are planned to go through the end of October, but possibly later if there is more interest. With the purchase of a t-shirt, you are making a donation to Drew and his family to help pay for the medical expenses on his road to recovery. Drew is undergoing much therapy and many surgeries.
The shirt styles and sizes are as listed:
Short-sleeved tees: Youth Small-Adult XL $15, 2X-3X $17, 4X $18
Long-sleeved tees: Youth Small-Adult XL $20, 2X-3X $22, 4X $23
Hoodies: Youth Small-Adult XL $25, 2X-3X $27, 4X $28
Toddler sizes will also be available if there are enough orders for BA to do the print. As of right now there are enough toddler sizes to make an order, so if you’re interested in ordering a toddler size let one of the three available contacts know.
If you wish to order a shirt online, you can go to the Trains for Drew Albritton Facebook page. The t-shirts are under “Events.”
For further questions and ordering information call or text Hilary Pyle at 573-614-1667.
Another contact number you can reach for questions or information is Caitlyn Pyle at 573-624-0901.
Checks should be made out to “Benefit for Drew Albritton” and can be mailed to Hilary Pyle at:
605 S. Park Lane
Dexter, MO 63841
In addition to the t-shirt fundraiser, there will also be a loin cook on Saturday, November 10th for Drew. Loins can be purchased for twenty-five dollars and must be ordered in advance.
Order forms are available and for more information you can call or text: Angela Duncan at 573-421-3612 or Toni Pyle at 573-624-0276.
Checks for the loins can be mailed to Toni Pyle at:
16985 Circle Hill Drive
Dexter, MO 63841
Not only will the purchase of the available t-shirts or loin help for Drew and his family, but also prayers and encouraging thoughts sent their way. May we keep Drew Albritton in our thoughts and prayers every day and share the information about these two fundraisers.
