Local Restaurants Host Fundraiser for Tripp Halstead

The Chick-fil-A® restaurants in Hiram and Dallas will hold a fundraiser for Winder toddler Tripp Halstead on Monday, April 1 from 5 to 8 p.m. A percentage of sales will go toward Tripp’s medical expenses as he recovers from a critical head injury caused by a falling tree limb in October.

Tripp’s struggle has touched so many people that the Paulding County Commissioner, David Austin, signed a proclamation on March 12 declaring April 1 Tripp Halstead Day.

Fundraiser attendees are invited to sign “Get Well” posters for Tripp at the restaurants or to drop off cards of their own. Guests can also make donations at either of the restaurants. To stay updated on his progress, visit www.facebook.com/TrippHalsteadUpdates.

“It’s amazing how the community has rallied around Tripp and his story,” said Chick-fil-A franchise Operator Kurt Davis. “Tripp is such a strong little boy, and we hope everyone will come out in full force to support him and his family.”

The Chick-fil-A location in Dallas is at 300 Charlie Watts Drive, 770-445-7713 and the Chick-fil-A in Hiram is at 4326 Jimmy Lee Smith Parkway, 770-222-0063.
