BROOKVILLE, Pa. (EYT) — A benefit spaghetti dinner will be held for Ron Pacsai, the late Cheyenne Nicole Snyder, and their late daughter Dixie at the Brookville Fireman’s Club on Saturday, October 22.

The dinner will be held from 3:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.

Tickets are $8.00 for adults and $2.00 for children 6 and under.

There will be a Chinese auction and a 50/50 raffle.

Snyder, Pacsai, and their month-old daughter Dixie were the victims of a September 25 crash on Route 36 in Eldred Township, Jefferson County.

Snyder, 24, of Tionesta, died on-scene as a result of injuries sustained in the crash.

Her fiance Pacsai, 33, also of Tionesta, suffered severe injuries for which he has received extensive treatment.

Pacsai was treated at UPMC Presbyterian for extensive lower body injuries that will require months of rehabilitation.

He’s being cared for at Jefferson Manor in Brookville until he is able to begin rehabilitation treatments.

Dixie died on Saturday, October 1, due to complications from an upper body injury sustained during the accident.

Michele Wright, a close friend of the Snyder and Pacsai families and president of the Friends of Christian organization, said donations have already started pouring in for the benefit dinner.

“The community feedback has been amazing,” said Wright. “It has been an overwhelming community response getting behind these two families.”

Four additional donation drop spots include:

  • Subway on Route 68 in Clarion
  • Minich Truck & Trailer Repair in Siegel
  • DuBois Career Link (Mon/Wed/Fri from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.)
  • Good Tire Services, Inc., in Knox

Proceeds will benefit the Snyder and Pacsai families to offset funeral and medical expenses.

Organizers of the event include Bikers for a Cause, Friends of Christian, and Friends of the Flag.
