My dad just informed me that, after a very random serious of events we are putting on a charity dinner on Dec, 19, 2010 for a local lukemia patient.

His story is here:
http://www.kmbc.com/health/25327476/detail.html

We are going to be clearing out our store to make room for tables and chairs and we will be putting on a FREE charity dinner (we're thinking BBQ roast beef sandwhiches and other extras) where we will be having raffles for prizes donated, ALL the money goes to the family of this boy.


What we are looking for are local companies to donate items or services to raffle off, oil changes, clothes, gift cards, etc.

So if anyone is willing to donate something please PM me, and if you are planning to attend please post (or pm me) so we can try to account for the size. Channel 9 news will be involved and we (my family) will be going around the local area to talk with businesses for raffle items.

Again NONE of the money will be going into our store.. it will all be given to the family to help them with transportation of the son and other expesnes, as neither parrent can afford to take anymore time off work to help thier son. As of right now he is not allowed to go outside or see any "strangers" due to his lower imunne system but we are hoping that by the time we have the dinner he will be able to attend as well.

Alright last update before the event.

We have collected many gift cards for various places around north kc, 54th st bar and grill, pricechopper, some free games at a bowling alley, applebees dinners. and from what I hear a local KC police officer has been going around the area getting items as well (but i do not know what they are.

We were featured on Channel 9 news a few nights ago and was told that they will be back tomorrow for a followup coverage on it.

there will be a live Skipe feed between our store and the young boy's house where is is now staying while in recovery/quarantine.
