Benefit to raise money for children of fire victim

Family and friends of Bianca Hedinger, a Tinley Park woman who died in a fire last year, are hosting a fundraiser to benefit the three children she’s left behind.

The Friday event will feature live music, food, a raffle and a cash bar.

The goal is to raise money for the three young children who still have years of schooling ahead of them, said Kellie Brotan, Hedinger’s cousin.

The kids – Gavin, 7, and 6-year-old twins, McKenzie and Griffin – are being cared for by Hedinger’s parents and sister, relatives said.

Hedinger, a 31-year-old hairdresser, was killed in a fire Aug. 2 in her Tinley Park townhome.

The cause of the fire remains unknown.
