Dear friends and supporters,

I'm reaching out to you on behalf of Our Best friend Anthony “Tony” O’bannon and his sister Shanbria who are going through an incredibly tough time. Anthony and I grew up together in Florida, for years I begged Anthony to move out to Montana to try a new way of life and to experience new things that we as Florida Kids could never imagine. In those few years Anthony has become best friends with what seems like everyone in Big sky Lighting up every room he walks into with an extremely uplifting personality and charisma unmatched by anyone. Anthony unfortunately had to Move back to florida to go home and take care of his mother Sharon who was diagnosed with late stage cancer. Sadly Sharon just lost her battle with cancer and now Anthony and His sister Shanbria are dealing with the aftermath and arrangements. Coping with this sudden loss has been incredibly difficult emotionally, and the responsibilities that have come with it are overwhelming. We've set up this fundraiser to rally around Anthony and his family during this challenging period to show our support for him and how much he has impacted the town of big sky in his few years here.
