Benefit auction planned for family of MMA fighter

Posted:

One KOTA Territory family stricken by tragedy is asking for your help.

Sturgis mixed martial artist Dustin Jenson of Sturgis died in May after competing at Ring Wars, leaving behind his wife, Becky and 17 month old daughter, Amora.

Becky Jenson honored her husband's wishes by donating his vital organs so that others could continue living.

The friends and family of Jenson are holding a benefit auction on Friday at 7pm at the Knuckle Saloon in Sturgis to help raise money to offset funeral and medical costs.

The auction will feature a variety of items including hotel rooms in Deadwood and Spearfish;  rounds of golf;  furniture;  tattoos;  Sioux Falls zoo passes, Black Hills gold jewelry, antiques; gift baskets; Buffalo Chip concert tickets to see Aaron Lewis, Lukas Nelson & Eric Church on Aug. 8th; Top Shelf passes on Aug. 10th to see Slash featuring Myles Kennedy & the Conspirators and more.

Casey Oxendine from MMA Inside the Cage has volunteered to shave off his beard if the family can hit the $5000 mark in online donations.

Overall the organizers say they hope to raise $10,000 dollars.

Donations to the Jenson family can be made online at http://www.gofundme.com/o6uiw .
