Lashan Nixon
I shouldn’t even have to give you an extra reason to want to eat delicious pancakes.
But I will.
Amanda Rogers, one of the best of all Wolf Moms, is leading a fundraiser for a close friend and former co-worker at Oak Harbor’s Applebee’s who is battling Stage 5 kidney disease.
Lashan Nixon is “an amazing human that became a part of our team a few years ago,” Rogers said.
“She was a wonderful member of our community before she relocated to Lacey and transferred to the Applebee’s there.
“Lashan is always the first to stand up and volunteer her time to help someone in need. She is a friend to everyone she meets.”
The kidney disease diagnosis has changed Nixon’s life dramatically, and her former co-workers here on The Rock want to do what they can to help her as she waits for a transplant.
The Oak Harbor Applebee’s is hosting a Flapjack Fundraiser Saturday, June 29 from 9-11 AM.
Tickets can be purchased at the restaurant, which is located at 31810 State Route 20.
“Your donation will go towards helping Lashan and in return you get to enjoy a pancake breakfast and a little community camaraderie,” Rogers said.
“If pancakes aren’t your thing or you already have plans that day then please consider purchasing a breakfast for someone in need who lives in our community.”
Organizers hope to get 60 plates donated to Spin Cafe.
“Thank you all for teaching me about community and how powerful we can be when we come together,” Rogers said. “Thank you, Whidbey!”
