BILLINGS -Two events down and two to go, a local fundraiser to help pay for the funerals of two murdered Billings women has raised nearly $2,000 and has put more than $8,000 in the pockets of people who sold their old, broken or "out of style" gold.

21-year-old Daisy and 22-year-old Rose Edwards were found stabbed to death at the Ponderosa Acres Apartment Complex on Sunday January 29th. The suspect, 20-year-old Andrew Denning faces two charges of deliberate homicide.

As of Friday night, the Party of Gold Company will pay out $1,237 to the Edwards Family Fund in addition to another $680 in donations from community members, and there are two more opportunities to take part.

Gold is at an all-time high, and people who bring in their old gold and silver are taking home checks from Party of Gold.

This is how it works:

People who bring in their gold, broken, out of style, "old boyfriend," "ex-husband," single earring, class rings etc. and Party of Gold is there to test, weigh and hand them a check right on the spot. People can bring 10k, 14k, 18k, 24k, platinum, sterling silver jewelry, flatware, bowls, tea sets, platters and coins 1964 and prior. Party of Gold writes a check for the value of the precious metals and then the company will donate 15% of the total amount back to the Edwards family.

There are two more opportunities to take part.

SATURDAY Feb. 11: Off The Leaf 9am-12:30 p.m.
SATURDAY Feb. 11: Dos Machos Cantina from 2-4 p.m.
