The fundraiser is from 11 to 10 p.m. at Ledo Pizza in Manassas.
A fundraiser for a program that could save the lives of hundreds of missing people is Thursday in Manassas.

Jimmy’s parents, Rachel and Jim Kirkland of Manassas Park, said they fought long and hard to get their son off a long waiting list and into Prince William County’s Project Lifesaver, a program that uses radio wave-emitting bracelets to track people who are prone to wandering off, such as those with Autism and Alzheimer’s Disease. “By all accounts, Robert Wood is very much like Jimmy.
