Fundraiser planned for family of Streator car crash victim

Nearly two months after a Streator teen died of complications from a car crash, a benefit will help out his family.

The Leo Cardoza Family Benefit is this Saturday from 5 until 11 at the Knights of Columbus Hall in Streator. The goal is to help Cardoza’s family pay for medical and funeral expenses. Tickets are $10 which includes food and drinks.

The 18-year-old was involved in a wreck along with two of his Streator High School classmates last November on a county road north of Streator. Ben Newton was killed during the crash while KeeganTerry survived and graduated this past May.
