JEANNETTE, Pa. — Community members gathered in Jeannette on Saturday for a bingo fundraiser to support the Five Angels Memorial Fund.
The organization was established following a fire two years ago that devastated a family.
The fire occurred on Guy Street and killed 27-year-old Tyler King, as well as four of his six kids: 7-year-old Kyson, 6-year-old Kinzleigh, 3-year-old Keagan and 1-month-old Korbyn.
Miranda John, the mother of the children and King’s fiancée, created the foundation with her mother to give back to the community.

Money raised during the Saturday event will be used to purchase books for local elementary school students and fund scholarships for high school students.
“We just have a lot to give back to the community, and we can’t wait to see what we accomplish,” John said.
A memorial park is planned at the scene of the fire.
