Hards Corner Holds Benefit for Hit-and-Run Victim

Hards Corner Tavern, 1884 Main St., is holding a benefit today for the victim of a Nov. 26 hit-and-run accident who continues to be hospitalized for her injuries.

Police continue to investigate the accident that seriously injured Bridgeport resident Natasha Walker, and have yet to make any charges.

Here's the post on Hard Corner's Facebook page:

We are holding a Xmas benefit for one of our beloved friends who was struck and seriously injured by a car over the Thanksgiving weekend. Tasha Walker is a wonderful person and a single mom of 3. She has a long road to recovery and will be in the hospital for quite some time and we'd like everyone to help us show her some love and help us raise some money so that her children can at least have a good Christmas as their mom recovers as she will be out of work.

Anyone who knows Tasha knows how good of a woman, mother and friend she is and its times like these where we can all come together and show her how much she means to us as well.

DJ Amani will be hosting along with us, drink specials all night and we will be charging just a $5 cover at the door and all proceeds will go to the family. There will also be a collection box at the bar for those of you who would like to donate more.

So come down and join us Saturday Dec. 17 and please pass this invite along, the more we have the better. For those of you who can't make it but would still like to help you can send a check made out to - Tasha Walker c/o Glenn Everlith 255 Franklin Ave. Stratford, CT 06614.
