Briggy Bandz fundraiser set

Bridget Fink, of Williamsport, has teamed up with the family of Ryan Roberts to offer Superman-themed Briggy Bandz as a fundraiser for the Roberts family.

Roberts is a young boy who has an inoperable congenital heart disease and Down syndrome who is being treated at the Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh. His family has nicknamed him Superman after his favorite superhero.

Briggy Bandz are bands that contain an ingredient that once soaked in water and placed in the refrigerator or cooler, can stay cold for hours.
