Restaurant raises funds for shooting victim
A local restaurant helped raise more than $450 last week to benefit a Mountain Home teenager during a fundraiser March 8.
The Pizza Hut on Airbase Road held the event in honor of Leonard Partinda, a Mountain Home High School teenager wounded in an accidental shooting last month.
A majority of money raised that evening came primarily from dine-in customers, according to restaurant manager Erin Durham. In fact, the restaurant saw a significant number of people opting to dine at the restaurant that evening, easily doubling or tripling its usual number of customers, he added.
