A benefit craft and vendor show for Autumn Bushman's family will be held Sunday, April 6 at Valley View Mall in Roanoke from 12:00 pm until 6:00 pm.
The show will feature 20 vendors and Savvy Events will donate 100% of the fees from booth rentals to Autumn’s family.
There will also be donation buckets to give directly to the Bushman family.
Vendors and members of the community are encouraged to wear orange in honor of Autumn.
Autumn Brooke Bushman was in the fourth grade at Mountain View Elementary School when her parents say she began to be bullied.
Sadly, 10-year-old Autumn took her own life on March 21.
Organizers of the benefit craft and vendor show say:
Autumn’s passing has left an irreplaceable void in the hearts of her family, friends, and the entire community. As they mourn, they also raise awareness about the deep and lasting impacts of bullying, hoping to prevent another tragedy from occurring.

In addition, a GoFundMe page has been set up for the family.
