Stettler band Domino entertained the community on Wednesday, Aug. 19 at the West Stettler Park to raise funds for their friends Jennel Schofer and Robin Walsh.
When band member Luanne Carl came to know about the young couple, she knew they had to do something.
Walsh was diagnosed with brain cancer in May earlier this year, while his wife Jennel Schofer was expecting their second child.
“It has been a hard go because neither one of them can work,” said Carl. “Of course, Jennel has had the baby in July and Robin is going through cancer treatment, so we wanted to try and do something.”
The band donated to the young family all the money raised during the performance, close to $2,700, including a percentage of any merchandise sold that night.
Domino started together in 2003 and has been together for a while.
According to Carl, Domino performed at the country music jamboree in Stettler as the backup band, but three years ago the band decided to take it to the next level, and started performing more regularly on the music circuit.
As one of the acts for Entertainment in the Park, Domino played to a huge crowd as the Stettler community came out in large numbers to show solidarity with the young couple.
