Fund Raiser Poker Tournament - $1475 Raised - Thank you!

All of our children have been working on ways to help raise funds for my treatment/medical costs.  Connie and I have been blessed with 6 caring children. 

Saturday 6/2/2012, my son Jeremy had a poker tourney at his home and about 35 of his friends (many of which I have known from Jeremy's college years or before) came to help out. 

Jeremy as me to say a few words before the tournament started. Needless to say, I was a little choked up.

It was a great evening of visiting as well as the donations from all. 

I can't tell you how wonderful things like this make you feel.

My heart felt thanks to all who were there.

A total of $1,475 was raised during the evening.

My son, Jeremy, and his wife Alana sponsored the tournament.


Early in the tournament, we had 4 tables of not-so-serious poker players.
My oldest daughter, Sandy, won the tournament and of course donated her winnings back to the "pot" for medical treatments.

A big thank you to the entire group who came out.
