By City News Service | Posted: Saturday, August 6, 2011
EL CAJON - More than $14,000 was raised today at a fundraiser held for the 34-year-old Marine injured in a hit and run crash in Rancho Bernardo, an event organizer said.
More than 700 people attended the event for Gunnery Sgt. Dave Smith, who remained hospitalized in critical condition following the July 31 crash, according to the event's coordinator Tina Hook.
Among them were several riders from the Legion Riders of 146 Oceanside Elks Lodge, who attended the event together.
``People have given tremendously today,'' Hook said of the event held at the El Cajon Harley Davidson dealership.
Smith is a 17-year veteran who deployed four times and survived a roadside bomb blast. He was awarded a Bronze Star for valor.
