Today is the day to dine out for a great cause. The Brass Rail Bar and Grill in downtown Plymouth is hosting a Dining with A Purpose event Friday, August 21st, to support the Goebel family after a devastating accident left their teenage son seriously injured.

Spencer Goebel, a 16-year-old Plymouth High School student, was seriously injured in a single-vehicle crash on Sunday, July 26th. Since the accident, Spencer has undergone multiple surgeries and faces a long road of recovery ahead. The medical expenses are mounting, and the community is stepping up to help.

The Brass Rail will donate a percentage of all sales on Friday to the Goebel family — from the time they open at 11:00 a.m. until close. Whether you stop in for lunch, dinner, or just drinks with friends, every purchase will help make a difference for this Plymouth family during a difficult time.

So gather your friends, family, and coworkers, and head to The Brass Rail today. A great meal, a good time, and a chance to help a local family when they need it most — that's what Dining with A Purpose is all about.

The Brass Rail Bar and Grill is located in downtown Plymouth. They open at 11:00 a.m.

Update on Spencer's condition from his dad, Dave: "Thanks to the wonderful team of doctors, nurses, and staff at Memorial Hospital in South Bend and Eskenazi Hospital in Indianapolis, along with all the fantastic support we have received from our community, family, and friends, Spencer has made tremendous progress, and we continue to be blessed every day. He still has a long road to recovery that will require lots of physical therapy and several more surgeries down the road. He is in good spirits and can't wait to come home. He misses everyone and looks forward to seeing you all soon."
