Funds to help pay for cancer patient’s medical expenses David Fong
Perry had just started a new job and his wife’s insurance coverage has run out. With medical bills mounting, the Biles’ many friends decided to step in and help. “The friends we have cannot be beat,” said Perry, a Troy resident. “I wanted to help them, but they said, ‘You’ve got enough on your plate right now. You let us handle this.’” And they’ve done just that. From 7-11 p.m. Friday at AMVETS Post No. 99 on 1123 S.

TROY — In their darkest hour, Perry and Carla (Peck) Biles found out who their true friends are — and just how many they have. Several months ago, the Biles found out Carla had been diagnosed with terminal cancer. What started in her bones had spread to her liver, essentially destroying the organ.

In addition to a $10 entrance fee, there will be a silent auction, door prizes, a 50/50 drawing, a gun raffle for a Remington 870 express pump shotgun ($5 a chance or five chances for $20) and casino games featuring blackjack and Texas Hold ‘Em, at which participants to earn tickets for chances at prizes including a Kindle Fire HD and tickets to the Cleveland Browns vs. Cincinnati Bengals game this November in Cincinnati. Also, beer and mixed drinks will be sold, with all proceeds going to pay Carla’s medical expenses. Additionally, an Elvis Presley
tribute artist, Jason Griffith, is scheduled to perform. Because Perry is a huge Johnny Cash fan, half of Griffith’s performance will be an Elvis tribute, while the second half will be a Cash tribute. Finally, for those unable to make Friday’s benefit, Perry has set up a fund in his wife’s name at any U.S. Bank. Those who wish to donate may visit their nearest U.S. Bank and make a donation in Carla Perry’s name. “People have been so amazing to us,” Biles said. “We have been very blessed to know so many wonderful people.”
