The North Valley Eagles Club in Columbia Falls will hold a fundraiser for the Gene Hallas family from 5 to 8 p.m. Saturday. The fundraiser includes a spaghetti feed, a 50-50 raffle and other items.

The Hallas family lost their home in a tragic house fire Monday that resulted in the death of Brittany Kayleen Ince, 30, and her three year-old son, Gavin Thomas Henrichon. Ince was the Hallas’s daughter-in law and was living at the home with her husband. Her husband was out running errands when the fire broke out.

The family lost everything. Gene jumped out a window and Juanita, his wife, wasn’t home at the time.

Items can also be dropped off for the family at the Eagles Club, said club president and family friend Jay Beranek.

Juanita is the bar coordinator for the club. A Go Fund Me account has also been set up at: http://www.gofundme.com/f7f77fk96k
