Update on fundraising, and Dustin

If you are new to the blog, and would like to know more about Dustin's situation, please click.

Things are moving along, slowly, but surely for the Beef, Beer, and More Fundraiser.

We have a bunch of request letters out to different organizations. Getting food, drinks, supplies, raffle items, etc.

Tickets are going on sale February 1st. We will have a Paypal account set up if you wish to purchase them online. Or you can buy them in person from people yet to be determined.
Once again, $30 advanced, and $40 at the door.

For everyone that has been kind enough to offer items for the raffle/silent auction. As soon as you have these gifts confirmed, please contact me at xstevejustinx@gmail.com to arrange delivery. We can't advertise that we will be auctioning off items, until we know for sure we have them.

... And for everyone that has been kind enough to e-mail me asking for any job whatsoever, well soon enough, I will have something for you. I know we will need a crew of about 10 people to help clean up after the Beef, Beer, and More. This will include, mopping the floors, cleaning the bathroom, picking up trash, etc. Not the most glamorous job, but is still needed, and will still be a help. So if you are looking for any way to contribute, here is one.

Finally, the easiest way to help. Simply copy and paste the link to the blog, and send it out to friends, or people that you may think can help in any way, or that would like to follow an amazing dude's story. Everyone on Facebook, especially people that frequently update their statuses. In the time it takes to write about the Eagles, Phillies, or what you are doing over the weekend, you could post this link.

The more people that read this blog and repost it, the better chance that we can all find a way to help the Myers, and most importantly, keep up with Dustin.


...That being said, sooner than later, Dustin will be fitted with a snazzy new wheelchair, and a mobile bypap. Meaning he will be out and about, living the good life. We have some really cool stuff in the works, that I'm sure everyone will want to stay up on.


If you haven't read the letter from the Myers', please check it out by clicking here.

Adding onto that letter, here are two items that the money we raise will go towards.

- A rolling, highback, tilting shower chair


- a Stair Platform Lift



That's it for now. Keep checking back.

Steve
