Mike Gengler Benefit

As fellow business owners and personal friends of Mike Gengler, owner of Gulden’s Restaurant, we are writing to ask for your support.  Friends, businesses, organizations and family are working together to host the
Entry cost is $20 which includes a pasta bar, salad and dessert.  
Join us for auctions, music, and more! 

Over the years, Mike has shown many acts of kindness to those in need over the years just because he’s who he is, and that is why so many of us are affected by his journey.
Since his initial discovery of stage 2 colon cancer, Mike has had a relentless battle with his more recently diagnosed Multiple Myeloma and numerous side effects. He recently underwent a blood stem cell transplant that was a partial success. He went back on Chemo immediately and should seriously consider another transplant soon.
With all that is occurring in his life, Mike is still 100% dedicated to his business and the people it serves.  He epitomizes the true spirit of entrepreneurship.  Mike understands his position and options but what concerns him most is not his dilemma but the effect it has on others. His love of his family, neighbors, co-workers, friends and community keep him going.
