AUXVASSE - Every parent hopes and prays for a healthy baby, but when their friends weren't blessed with one, an Auxvassse couple have stepped up to help out.

Mike and Kacee Klamm will be hosting "A Dinner for Addison" Saturday, April 28, a fundraising dinner, raffle and silent auction to raise funds for a family friend's newborn daughter who has already had four surgeries in her short life, with a fifth in her near future.

Kacee Klamm's coworker and friend gave birth to Baby Addison on Jan. 23, 2012. Within a day, Addison was in surgery to remove a cyst from her brain, and spent the first week of her life in ICU.
