MILWAUKEE -- "Mad Hats & Mai-Thai Affair" was the theme of a fundraiser held Sunday, March 10 for a man who was severely injured during a trip to Thailand.
In January, Jamie Mills and a friend were crossing the street in Bangkok when they were hit by a van.
Mills suffered a broken pelvis, shattered legs and a ruptured bladder and was stuck in a hospital in Thailand.
Family members and friends organized Sunday's fundraiser to help with his medical bills.
"We wanted to do something different -- have some jazz music. We always do a lot of hat and theme parties when Jamie is around. He's quite a character. Lots of costumes and fun stuff, so we wanted to just kinda touch on that and bring a little light to such a grim event," said Tara Jade, Mills' best friend.
Mills had pelvic surgery at St. Luke's Hospital, and friends said a long road to recovery remains for Mills.
