OKEECHOBEE — The Orioles, 1855 SW 53rd St., will host Quarters for a Cause on Monday, Aug. 11, to benefit Dwaine Smith.

Dwaine has been battling a serious medical crisis since September 2024, including multiple surgeries and life-threatening complications. As the sole provider for his family and a devoted nurse, he’s now facing a long recovery and unable to work. After two major surgeries in June — colostomy reversal and abdominal reconstruction — Dwaine needs time to heal.

Your support can help ease the financial burden from medical expenses and travel costs during this critical time. Please consider attending this benefit on Aug. 11. The doors will open at 6 p.m. and the quarter auction begins at 7 p.m. Wear animal print to be entered into a special raffle provided by Janet from This Little Heart of Mine.

To make a donation, please contact Janice Pietro at 561-310-3285.
