Marble Falls Area Volunteer Fire Department is granting a portion of donations from an upcoming fundraiser to a local family.

Pizza Hut at 1000 US 281 in Marble Falls will be donating 20 percent of sales, including dine-in, carry-out and delivery orders on Thursday, Jan. 29 to Marble Falls Area VFD. Customers must have a fundraiser flyer to have their sale counted in the donation, and must spend a minimum of $10.

Marble Falls Capt. George Tennison said the department will be donating a portion of proceeds to the family of Robert Randle, a Granite Shoals Firefighter and Marble Falls Area EMS Paramedic whose brother Bryan Randle, 24, was killed in a motor vehicle accident in Austin on Jan. 19.

Robert Randle is also a full time college student expected to graduate from A&M Central Texas this May, 2015 with a Bachelors Degree in Aviation Science with a Minor in Business, according to a GoFundMe web page organized by friends and supporters.

“The GoFundMe page is what made me want to do this,” Tennison said. “He paid for the funeral expenses out of pocket and I want to help him out.”

Donations can be made to www.gofundme.com/bryanrandle.
