The Burlington Buffalo Wild Wings will be holding a fundraiser all week next week to support the family of its general manager, who was killed during a hazmat incident at the restaurant.

Ryan Baldera, 32, was recently married and had just become a father to a baby boy when he died earlier this month.

Starting on Dec. 2 and through Dec. 8, the Burlington restaurant will donate all of its proceeds to an education fund set up for Baldera’s son. There will also be a silent auction featuring a variety of items, including game-day prizes and autographed sports memorabilia, according to an email on behalf of the restaurant.

Baldera was overcome by the fumes from a combination of cleaning agents at the restaurant; 13 other people, a mix of patrons and employees, were sent to the hospital following the Nov. 7 incident.
