Help Support a Great Cause!
« on: November 12, 2012, 06:37:36 PM »
My brother who lives in Southern Oregon will be holding a tournament to help raise funds for the Shriner's Children's Hospital. During the event there will be a raffle and I am reaching out to our community to see if anyone can donate items to help with having a highly successful raffle to support this great cause. Below is information of why he is hosting the tournament as well as the tournament flyer.

He is anticipating about 100 people for the event.

If anyone has anything they can donate, please let me know or potentially anyone else who may be interested in contributing.

Also, if anyone is in the Southern Oregon region please come out and bowl the tournament. I will be there for this and bowling both squads.

Support to the Rescue.

November 11, 2012

I am working on my senior culminating project and will be hosting a bowling tournament on December 1, to benefit Shriners Hospitals for Children. I am seeking support for this event in the form of monetary donations of any amount, a $30.00 lane sponsor, and/or a donated item or gift certificate for a raffle.

“Bowling for Shriners” tournament will be held on December 1, 2012 at the Epicenter located at: 3901 Brooke Drive in Klamath Falls, Oregon.

I am seeking bowlers for this event. Two sessions will be held. The first one will be at 12:00 p.m. and the second one will be at 3:00 p.m. Please join me for some fun and to support children in our community. The fees are: Adult bowlers $15.00 and those 18 & under will be $12.00.

Please make checks payable to Shriners Hospitals for Children. I can pick up donations or they can be sent to: PO Box 308 Midland, Oregon 97634 or dropped off at the Epicenter (address above).

Your company will be recognized for the contribution during the event. In addition, Shriners Hospitals for Children is a fully qualified 501 ( c ) 3 charitable organization which makes your donation tax deductible. I am happy to provide you with a donation receipt for your contribution.

I chose Shriner’s Hospitals for my project because I have experienced the wonderful services they provide for children. I have been a patient of Shriner’s for several years and I still have several treatments to go. I was born with a birth defect that caused problems for me walking and I experience severe pain. Shriner’s Hospital has made special inserts for my shoes, braces for my legs and has performed surgery to help me with my problem. Shriner’s Hospitals are dedicated to serving children and I am personally aware of this based on my own experience. I can tell you they have made a huge difference in my life and I want show my appreciation by giving something back.

Partnered together, we can truly impact children in our community. If you have any questions, please call me:

I'd love to but nothing left to give after the government takes money out of my check to give to the uneducated that keep having kids without any means to support them (that's where I come in).

I'll send $30 to help out a great cause!!! We as Americans have always stuck together whether we agree with each other or not!! Isn't that why this country is so great? We can agree to disagree and go about our business!! Just my $.02, Bruce

I understand everyone has an opinion and they are entitled to it...however I am asking to keep this thread positive as we are trying to run a successful tournament to support a great cause. If anyone can help in any way whether it be a bottle of polish, a towel or even wishing good luck for a great tournament will be much appreciated.\

Thanks.
