Family and friends of Bianca Hedinger, a Tinley Park woman who died in a fire last year, are hosting a fundraiser to benefit the three children she’s left behind. Today's event will feature live music, food, a raffle and a cash bar. The goal is to raise money for the three young children who still have years of schooling ahead of them, said Kellie Brotan, Hedinger’s cousin.
The kids – Gavin, 7, and 6-year-old twins, McKenzie and Griffin – are being cared for by Hedinger’s parents and sister, relatives said.
Hedinger, a 31-year-old hairdresser, was killed in a fire Aug. 2 in her Tinley Park townhome. The cause of the fire remains unknown.
Bianca graduated from Oak Forest High School and was a hair dresser at Jeffrey LaMorte Salon in Orland Park. Bianca was married to Bob Hedinger, who died on on July 25, 2003.
Donations may also be made on the family's web site.
