AND THE COMMUNITY IS
, STILL RALLYING TO SUPPORT THE
FAMILY.
THERE ARE SEVERAL FUNDRAISERS IN
THE DAYS AHEAD INCLUDING ONE
, TONIGHT IN WHITE MARSH.
11-NEWS REPORTER KATE AMARA IS
LIVE THERE WITH DETAILS.
KATE?
KATE: LOVE FOR THE MALONES WILL
TAKE OVER DOWNTOWN ELLICOTT CITY
THIS SUNDAY.
FOUR RESTAURANTS AND BARS
TEAMING-UP FOR AN ALL-DAY EVENT
TO RAISE MONEY FOR THE MALONE
FAMILY.
KATIE AND BILL MALONE LOST SIX
OF THEIR NINE CHILDREN WHEN
THEIR NORTHEAST BALTIMORE HOME
WENT UP IN FLAMES LAST MONTH.
>> I THINK IT'S THE SPIRIT OF
THIS COMMUNITY AND ELLICOTT
CITY.
IT'S JUST SO IMPORTANT FOR US TO
GIVE BACK TO THE MALONE FAMILY.
KATE: THE IDEA WAS BORN AT THE
ELLICOTT MILLS BREWING COMPANY,
WHERE BILL MALONE WORKED FOR
SEVERAL YEARS.
WE SPOKE TO CO-OWNER TIM
OVER THE PHONE TODAY.
>> IT'S ONE THING TO HEAR SUCH A
TRAGIC STORY, IT'S ANOTHER TO
HAVE AN EMOTIONAL TIE TO IT, AND
THEN IT'S QUITE ANOTHER WHEN YOU
KNOW THAT THE PEOPLE INVOLVED
ARE JUST DECENT AND SWEET
PEOPLE.
>> WE HAVE FELT SO MUCH LOVE
FROM THE COMMUNITY IN THE PAST 7
MONTHS, IT JUST WASN'T EVEN
QUESTION FOR US NOT TO GIVE BACK
TO THEM.
KATE 20% OF RESTAURANT REVENUE
: WILL BE DONATED TO THE FAMILY.
OTHER BUSINESSES, PITCHING-IN
WITH SILENT AUCTION ITEMS.
MANY EMPLOYEES DONATING THEIR
TIME TO WORK THE EVENT.
AN EVENT, WHICH ORGANIZERS SAY,
IS ABOUT MORE THAN JUST RAISING
MONEY.
>> LET US, AS A COMMUNITY, PUT
OUR ARMS AROUND YOU AND LET YOU
KNOW YOU'RE NOT ALONE.
AND I THINK THAT'S JUST AS
IMPORTANT AS ANY DOLLAR WE CAN
HAND THE
KATE: SO THE ELLICOTT CITY EVENT
, GOES FROM 11:30 A.M. TO
MIDNIGHT THIS SUNDAY.
IT IS A DOWNTOWN ELLICOTT CITY.
BUT TONIGHT, THERE IS ANOTHER
FUNDRAISING EVENT GOING ON AT
THE RED ROBIN HERE AT THE WHITE
MARSH MALL.
