Despite the crummy weather, more than 50 people showed up at the August 16 BBQ fundraiser organized for Fanshawe College student Nkinyam Ngoh, who was critically injured in a townhouse fire last month.

Fire rescue crews found Ngoh unconscious in his upstairs bedroom on July 27 when a fire had trapped the student in, blocking the room's exit window and door.

The fundraiser's proceeds went to Ngoh, who lost most of his belongings in the fire. Donations can also be made through a CIBC trust fund.
