Hello So Cal!
So as a few of you know September 27 2010 I lost my 26 year old wife to melanoma. I decided that the best way to honor her memory was to start a 501-c3 non profit to help terminally ill melanoma patients. We have had a few indoor soccer tournaments in Torrance, a few music shows in the LBC and now will be the very first poker run!
So the details of the run as of now are as follows.
being the charity's first run its going to be VERY basic. Start is at 4x4 training center, off to tether ball, notches, phone booth and back to 4x4 training center for results,food and raffle.
price is $20 per vehicle $5 per additional dinner $5 per additional hand.
best hand, runner up and worst hand get prizes, hoping to be able to get 3rd place as well info to come as i get things figured out.
im trying desperately to get prize donations and raffle prizes and will be posting up what im able to score as it becomes donated.
food is going to be very basic for the first run, chili dogs, sodas and some kind of side. we will be having a keg of some sort as well for the adults.
so far i have two field marshal's that will be sweeping after the participants to make sure everyone makes it back safe and sound.
The two clubs helping me so far are Creeps "n" jeeps and Inland Jeep Freeks, i would love to have
there as well.
now about my charity,
www.michellecaresfoundation.org
facebook-http://www.facebook.com/pages/Michelle-Renee-Simonson-Melanoma-Foundation/265370093491689
forgive me as both sites are under construction and need some work.
our goal is a 4 pronged attack. i want to help support the oncology center that treated Michelle, I want to provide financial assistance for terminally ill melanoma patients for end of life expenses, provide direct funding to melanoma research, and eventually provide transportation for melanoma patients for medical appointments.
you all are the first place i have posted the run! the website and face book page will be announced in the next week.
Any questions please feel free to ask! i hope to have a great turn out to have some fun raise some awareness and help a great cause!
Thanks in advance,
Kayle
