Doors will open at 6:00, with musician Zach Thompson scheduled to perform beginning at 6:30. The wrestling portion of the event will begin at 19:30. A silent auction will also be held.
Advance tickets are available for $10 by contacting Blankenship through Facebook. Tickets will cost $15 at the door. The Jackson Live & Event Center is located at 981 C Avenue E in Seymour.
Blankenship confirmed that all profits from the wrestling event and silent auction will be given to Henry’s family.
100% of the profit from the show/silent auction is going to the family.
Local supporters can donate at any JCBank location by telling the teller they would like to contribute to Henry Emily. Those outside the area can contact Blankenship through the official “Headlocks for Henry” Facebook event page to arrange a contribution.
If people local want to donate to the family they can go to a JCBank and tell the teller that they want to donate to Henry Emily. If they aren’t local, they can send money to me and I will happily add it to the profits of the show.
