Fundraiser scheduled at Hooter’s for officer’s child

Life was turned upside down last month for Joseph Townsend, a 10-year-old fifth grader at Lord Baltimore Elementary School, when a routine eye exam turned into emergency surgery within 24 hours.

Doctors discovered a swollen optic nerve on Nov. 3, which was caused by a golf ball-sized tumor in his eye. Townsend was in surgery at Johns Hopkins in Baltimore a few hours after the discovery.

The family has been traveling to Baltimore to take care of Joseph while he continues therapy.

Joseph’s father, Sgt. Ronnie Townsend, was born and raised in Worcester County before logging more than 25 years with the Ocean City Police Department.

During Hooters’ holiday party on Thursday, Dec. 22, from 5-9 p.m., the West Ocean City restaurant will donate all proceeds to the Townsend Family.

  1. Sorry to hear about their child but not taking ours to Hooters. It's just not appropriate for children.

  5. Some of us keep our kids off the boardwalk in the summertime after people start taking their clothes off. So I would not take my kids to Hooters, ever!! With that being said, I wish the best for this young boy. God bless him.
