Thursday evening, a Seymour store is giving back to the family of Courteney Kaliszewski, the teen killed earlier this month in a church van accident.

16-year-old Kaliszewski and 45-year-old Jeff Trussell died when an SUV hit their van carrying 12 people head-on. Several others were hurt.

Thursday, the Zaxby's store in Seymour is holding a fundraiser for the Kaliszewski family. She had applied to work at the store and was getting ready to start soon. Owners Todd and Erin Strange wanted a way to help the Kaliszewski family.

From 5 to 10 p.m., Zaxby's will donate a percent of all their sales to the family.
