A car wash fundraiser held in Brentwood yesterday to benefit the family of Joey Valdez raised $3,376 according to event organizers.
Amoreena Perez thanked the community for their help in raising the funds and that it’s already been given to the family. They are planning a few more fundraisers in the near future. The car wash was organized by East Bay Cheer.
The fundraiser was held at Walgreens on the corner of Balfour and Walnut Blvd in Brentwood on Sunday.
For those who did not attend the car wash, a GoFundMe page has been set up for anyone who wishes to help the family raise money for funeral arrangements. According to many people close to the family, Jose was potentially the victim of bullying which resulted in his tragic death. They are hoping to raise $20,000 and at the time of publication have raised $6,615.00.
Here are some photographs of the event on Sunday.
