What Can You Do

So obviously, we are not doctors. We can't find some magical cure for ALS.

However, that does not mean that we are hopeless.

  1. Visit Dustin. As stated in the earlier post, Dustin's mind is still 100% functional, and he is still the same person he has always been. This is by far the best way to help Dustin, since physically it is a bit difficult for him to come see you, go see him, hang with him, eat his mom's cooking.
  2. If you can't make it out to see him, send him a letter, he already has a pretty awesome collection going around the TV. I'll try to get a picture up sooner than later, it's pretty amazing to see the outpouring of love just in the last few weeks. DUSTIN MYERS 108 CHURCH RD. MALVERN, PA. 19355



BEEF AND BEER!


Basically, the biggest fundraiser that is in the works for Dustin and his family right now is a Beef and Beer. We are trying to have this be as big as possible, and get as many people out as we can. In the 4 days that this has been going on for, we have been blessed to have people offer to donate their services and resources for this event.

Right now, since this is in the very early stages of development, we are just getting a list of needs together.

This is tentatively scheduled for late March, or early April. We hope to have an official date posted by the end of the week. So please check back often.

Once we have the venue date secured, we will beginning doing the same with food and beverage distributors, as well as local organizations that will want to help as well.

Another way we plan to raise money at this event, is to have various raffles/silent auctions as well.

We would even like to reach out to the Phillies, Flyers, Eagles, and Sixers as well as Philadelphia media just to see if they would be interested in helping someone who has been a fan of theirs for a long time.

We hope to have a Paypal account set up in the near future, for people who wish to donate, but cannot make it to the Beef and Beer.


Please do not think that this is the be-all, end-all for fundraisers for Dustin. This is hopefully one of many, and will help to make life easier for Dustin, and curb any expenses that the Myers may be looking at in the near future.

So, if you, or anyone you may know, would be willing to donate, either tickets to sporting events, autographed merchandise, gift certificates, services, pretty much anything that can be raffled off, please don't hesitate to contact me.

This also goes for anyone that knows someone in any sort of food/beverage distribution. And, hey, if you know of any sort of fire-hall, banquet hall, hotel, or VFW that cant fit 200+ people, please, let us know.

Obviously, the point of all of this is to raise money for Dustin and his family, meaning, lets try to get everything we can for FREE.

Please contact me at xstevejustinx@gmail.com if you would like to get involved, have any resources, ideas, questions, contacts, etc.
