The Town of Wi******er would like to help spread the word about Caring for Carrie’s Kids, a community event being held in memory of Carrie Stetson and to benefit her children.
Carrie was a familiar and beloved member of the Wi******er community.

Her kindness, generosity, and commitment to others left a lasting impact on those who knew her.

We encourage residents to consider attending and joining others in remembering Carrie and celebrating the positive difference she made throughout Wi******er.

Friday June 26th. A Community Fundraiser in Memory of Carrie Stetson. Let’s band together ❤️ and do what we do best. Help those in need.

To so many of us, Carrie was a pillar of strength, kindness, happiness, and joy. Through her generosity, compassion, and unwavering love for the town that meant so much to her, she made our community a better place. Her impact will be felt for years to come.

For three very special people, Carrie was much more than a beloved member of our community—she was a boss, a friend, a confidant, and most importantly, a mom. Nicole, Piper, and Ben are facing an unimaginable loss, and their lives will never be the same.

During this difficult time of healing, they should not have to worry about the financial burdens that come with such a tragedy.

On Friday, June 26, 2026, Little Red Barn will be hosting a Pasta Dinner Fundraiser, with 100% of the proceeds benefiting Nicole, Piper, and Ben.

Join us as we come together to celebrate Carrie's life, honor her memory, and support the family she loved so dearly.

Dinner - $18.95
• Pasta & Sauce
• Meatballs
• Salad
• Assorted Desserts

Live Music from 6:00 PM – 9:00 PM
Raffles Throughout the Evening
Every meal purchased, raffle ticket sold, and act of support will help make a difference for this amazing family.

Please share this post and help us show Nicole, Piper, and Ben the strength and love of the community Carrie helped build.

Together, we can honor Carrie’s memory and support those she loved most.
