Vicki Fitzgerald wasn’t well enough to attend the benefit in her honor at the Kessler Theater Sunday. But some 300 neighbors attended, bringing in over $6,000 to help Fitzgerald with her medical bills.

Fitzgerald, who is a volunteer with the Old Oak Cliff Conservation League and Turner House, was diagnosed with throat cancer last year.
