Title: MISSION COMPLETE: BOWLING TROOP for SAMMY SETH OCT 18
Post by: OldTonyKenobi on September 18, 2009, 01:16:56 PM
This is not to be confused with the "SUPER HERO BOWLING" thread for the dog shelter on Oct 30th
 
    This is also at  Town and Country Bowling in Keizer. It is a pure fundraiser for Sammy Seth, a 14 yr old boy who is having a horrible time with a couple of diseases, (you can get MUCH more info on the links below). I would like to see us troop this event and have teams bid on their favorite character to bowl with them on their team. And/or pit the villains/heroes or Star wars/everyone else in costume against each other, and people can sponsor/support their favorite team. There will be raffles, prizes and giveaways with ALL proceeds going to Sammy. As usual Mardi will provide a huge green room, free bowling and a meal for all troopers. I was told this is not in conflict with any other event, and I really want to help this little guy. Im sure you will feel the same once you read the attached articles.

UPDATE!
  Just talked with Mardi at Town and Country Bowling. Any member of CCG/RL costuming for this event, (any costume, but it would be cool to have a buncha star wars guys), will get FREE bowling all day, (even out of costume later), a FREE meal, (really good grub), our own "green room" and cheap beverages :wink:.
  For donations we can bowl with a group and we will be taking pictures. Mardi is dealing with the photographer and printing :mrgreen: (YAY). I will be providing swag and gift certificates to hand out and raffle off. When everyone has had their fill of bowling, we will meet at my house for poker/gaming, beverages and CLAM DIP! kids are welcome as always.
  We have raised $3000 dollars so far through various events leading up to this :shock:. Here is another link to a new article in the Keizer Times.............old tony kenobi

 GREAT Paul, me too! I would like Star Wars costumes for this one, since we will be taking donations for pictures. The other costume bowling event on the 30th there will be more variety. Now if you want to bowl in costume, then go ahead a wear something your more comfortable in, or can see better in. Or you can just wait til we change out to bowl. Its all up to you :D........ ol tony

A Big thanks to Tony Grove for helping Organize this Troop for Sammy Seth.  :wink: :D  This was a Positive and fun Troop and the Family was touched by our presence.  The Bowling Alley helped to get us set and Tony went beyond to make sure everything went smooth.  We trooped from 1:00 pm till 4:15 pm. Donation were given for Pictures to help Family of Sammy Seth .  If you read the Links to articles ..It was a Miracle story of inspiration. For going thru this Medical issue at age 14.   Tony will update on Total that was raised.  Troopers Michael W., Karyn, Peter, Paul, Tony G., David, Carlos and myself  :wink: Thanks to our spotters.. Awesome Time gang

WOW :mrgreen:! What a great time for a fantastic cause. Its really when we get to see the people we are trying to help face to face. Sammy and his mother Julie were so grateful. She was worried he might not even make an appearance, but not only did he stick around thanking people all day, he was inspired to go BOWLING for the first time in months :shock:! This family is an inspiration for us all. Thank you all for coming out for this event. You guys ROCK  :dancechewie:! And a big thanks to Mardi, she really spoils us at these events..........old proud tony kenobi

here is a note from Mardi;
"Tony, hope that everyone had a great time. Wow! what an event! people were still dropping by to donate after we all had left! I'll get you a grand total for all of the donations. The days take was about $1855. It's still being calculated....people were also just handing Julie money that we didn't know about! It was kind'a like that movie, "It's a Wonderful Life". The town sure turned out! Give my best to the Troops. Partnering with you has been great. Email me about the next promo at Christmas. I've already started stirring the waters on this one.

Remember......we've got 10/30 event together! save those old blankets and towels! I think I'll stop by Goodwill and grab a couple bags of towels and get the pool table looking full. I'll call Petco and Keizer Feed to see if they have more to donate and then put some advertising up for them."
