Friends and family of Janice Hinschberger are seeking donations for a benefit to be held in September. On Memorial Day weekend, Hinschberger was riding when she fell from her horse, landing on her head and left side. She suffered major injuries, including a brain hemorage, broken collarbone, cracked ribs and a bruised lung. She is currently recovering at St. Luke’s Hospital, Cedar Rapids, in the rehab center. She will soon be going home, but will require 24-hour care.

She and her husband, Jim, are the parents of three daughters and grandparents of four. One of her daughters postponed her marriage to be with her mother and another daughter will be a senior at Cedar Rapids Prairie High School this fall.

The benefit will be held Sept. 19 at the Belle Plaine Country Club. It will include a nine-hole, four-person best shot golf tournament, silent and live auctions and bake sale. Organizers are seeking items for the auctions and the bake sale. Monetary donations to also help with the ongoing medical expenses may be sent to Chelsea Savings Bank or MidWestOne Bank in the name of the Janice Hinschberger Benefit.
