A benefit was held for Robert Enlow on Saturday June 12th at Three Star Vineyard and Orchards in Johnston, SC.  

Robert is a native of Johnston and has been diagnosed with a rare cancer called Sarcomatoid Carcinoma. Robert is self employed and does not have health insurance. Over 300 people attended the benefit to help raise money to cover medical expenses.

Guests were served Bar-B-Q pork, chicken and ribs, rice and hash, cole slaw, potato salad, green beans, baked beans and a tremendous selection of cakes and pies for dessert. Guests were entertained throughout the afternoon and night by DJ Sammy Rhoden, the band Steele Justice and sang karaoke at the end of the night with David Satcher. A silent and live auction was also held throughout the night.

Everything that was needed put on this benefit was donated by friends, family and businesses throughout Johnston, Saluda, Edgefield, Ward, Ridge Spring and Lexington. The Enlow family would like to express their deepest gratitude to all who participated in this event. They are overwhelmed by the generous donations and words of concern and encouragement that has been shown since Robert was diagnosed with cancer.
