Organizers of Trucking for Tommy said the community fundraiser will take place next Saturday from noon to 5 p.m. at the Discover Ball Field in Tombstone to raise money for a 5‑year‑old boy recently diagnosed with Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
Colleen Scott, representing the event, said the family‑friendly fundraiser will include fire trucks, water trucks, buses and semi trucks on display, plus activities such as tug‑of‑war, musical chairs and a DJ. An auction and raffles are planned, with organizers saying 100% of proceeds will go to the child's medical expenses.
Scott described several auction items that organizers had secured, including a firearm used in local film productions, quilts, Airbnb stays and other donated goods. She said the Facebook event page includes a map, a list of auction items and options for donating or communicating with organizers.
The event is hosted in Tombstone and Scott urged residents to attend to support the family and enjoy the attractions. The organizer provided a general description of the child's condition and said the community has rallied to cover upcoming medical needs; no dollar target was specified on the program page discussed on air.
