When Iron-Leg Corp. does something, the nonprofit goes big, said Sean Laukhuff, vice president. The organization's latest fundraiser has a little bit of everything. "We're calling it a Car Show, Family Day and Cornhole Tournament," Sean said of the event which will be held on Saturday, May 28. The festivities will feature fun for people of all ages and will run from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. at Lancaster Liederkranz, 722 S. Chiques Road, Manheim.

The event will include carnival games, a magician, a balloon artist and face painting, along with food trucks, including Halo's Kitchen, Krazy Kones and Cupcakes by Casey. A cash bar will be available as well, along with a silent auction and giveaways throughout the day. Entertainment will be provided by DJ Bill Coder as well as 10 Gauge, which will perform acoustic funk from 3 to 5 p.m. The entertainment will conclude with a show by Philly Keys, a dueling piano act that will perform from 7 to 10 p.m.

A cornhole tournament will be open to teams and will feature cash prizes. Registration for the cornhole tournament will be held from noon to 12:45 p.m.

A car show will be held at the event as well, with prizes and trophies for the winners. The top prize for the car show will be called Parker's Pick and will be chosen by Iron-Leg president Matthew Millhouse's son, Parker, in whose honor the organization was started.

Parker, 9, was born without his right leg. Iron-Leg Corp. became an official nonprofit in April 2021, and it raises funds to help children and youths age 18 and younger obtain advanced prosthetics and receive therapy to learn how to use them. Previous fundraisers have helped the organization purchase a prosthetic hand for an 11-year-old boy in York, and the group has a 3-year-old Lancaster boy on its list for a prosthetic hand as well. Each prosthetic can cost between $10,000 and $50,000, Sean said, explaining that Iron-Leg commits to providing new prosthetics for the recipient as the child grows, up until he or she reaches age 18. He noted that Iron-Leg has set a goal of raising $30,000 at the family day.

Giving back comes naturally to Sean, who learned the importance of supporting the local community from watching his uncle, Ken Laukhuff, who helped to create the local Make-A-Wish Mother's Day Truck Convoy. Other events organized by Iron-Leg include an annual golf tournament held in September.

"This day is going to be so much fun, and we're really counting on the generosity of the public," Sean said of the family day, which will feature free admission. "Our motto is 'Giving kids a helping hand and a leg to stand on,' and we want to continue to do that right here in our community."
