Fatso's Hosts Benefit for Kaylah Lentine Fund on Saturday

Fatso’s – the inventor of the tortilla-wrapped, deep-fried, double-dog stuffed with fries, grilled onions, jalapeno peppers and cheese Fatso’s dog – will celebrate it’s one-year anniversary with a benefit for the family of Kaylah Lentine.
A pickup truck struck the Oak Lawn-Hometown Middle School student as she crossed the intersection of Cicero Avenue and Southwest Highway on May 24. The accident is still under investigation.
Kaylah, who was 14, died of her injuries the next day a week before she was to have graduated from eighth-grade.
From noon to 8 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 18, Fatso’s will take over the large lot at Hawk Ford directly across the street from the restaurant. There will be a jumpy for the kids, face painting, food, and more.
Boogie with the Impact Band playing live music from the 1980s and 1990's from noon to 3:15 p.m. A DJ will spin tunes from 3:30 to 8 p.m.
Vienna Beef has donated food for the family-friendly benefit, with $5 getting you in, along with a free hotdog and drink.
Special T-shirts with Kaylah's picture will be for sale for $10, along with bracelets.
Many local businesses have donated raffle prizes. All proceeds made outside on Saturday will go toward the “For the Benefit of Kaylah Lentine” fund, c/o Fifth Third Bank, at 4400 W. 95th St., Oak Lawn, IL 60453, to help Kaylah’s family with expenses related to her loss.
For more information, contact Carol Peters at Fatso’s, at 708-424-2490.

This is still a tragically hard issue to deal with. The crossing where this little girl was killed is still a horrible place, and nothing is being done about it. Just two days ago I had someone bump me from behind because they were not paying attention, the guy who hit me was looking at 2 girls (no more then 16) not dressed correctly and he was eyeballing them like the never seen a bunch of girls before.. I seen the girls crossing so I stopped even in the green light changing to red. And looked in my rear view mirror and watched him all the way to hitting me from behind. He tried to play it off that he though one of the girls was his friends sister , but why would take a picture of them with your cell phone and continue to drive. We really need to crack down on this. I hope Oak Lawn get's their crap together soon before another innocent life is taken

Does anybody find it suspicious that the driver (not saying he is guilty or not) has still not surrendered his cell phone records over to the police? Maybe he is hidding something perhaps? Is there more to this story that there appears to be? If I were the OLPD I would go get a warrant for this guy to release his cell phone records so we can finally settle this so Kaylah and her family can be at ease. I feel sorry for both the driver and kaylah but if the driver was on his cell phone he can rot in hell
