LINCOLN – The public is invited to the Logan County Fairgrounds on Saturday, October 7 for "A Night for Sofie”— a live pro wrestling fundraiser. Doors open at 6 p.m. and the bell rings at 7. The event is presented by Midwest Impact Pro and School of Smothers and will include a 50/50 raffle and silent auction. Front row seats are $12, general admission $10. All proceeds will go toward Sofie’s medical expenses.





Sophia Marie Fletcher was born March 17, 2017 with an extremely rare chromosomal disorder which resulted in the first 27 days of her life spent in the NICU. Her condition is so rare, her doctors are uncertain of her development or quality of life and have named the condition "Sofie’s Syndrome”. What is known at this time, is that she has a multitude of internal issues that will likely require many surgeries – the first of which is scheduled for November in St. Louis—24-hour care and constant doctors’ appointments.





Sophia’s grandmother, Michelle Robinson, a life-long Lincoln resident and former assistant manager at Thornton’s, made a life altering decision to become her granddaughter’s full-time caregiver. Sofie’s mother, Samantha, is only 19 and very much in need of help. Sofie’s perilous health situation has caused a great hardship for her entire family, both emotionally and financially.
