Wow Brian! What a great idea! I'm absolutely humbled by your generosity and initiative. When db (Don Barone, founder of Tackle The Storm) read this, he said,
And just this weekend at the BassResource RoadTrip, we raised enough money to add 119 kids to that total. This came from a combination of the raffle, Siebert Outdoors Storm series jigs sales, and a very generous $75 donation from Brian himself. I know Brian isn't looking for recognition, as he pulled me aside to quietly gave me his donation, but I just wanted everyone to know what a wonderful and caring person Brian is.
In addition, Alpster (Ronnie) custom built a fantastic spiral-wrapped rod to donate to the raffle, and Dinky (MIke) added items including an autographed tournament jersey from Randy Howell. I also wanted to thank all our sponsors for donating prizes to raffle off.
Everyone can make a difference. It doesn't take much to change a child's life. Every $7.50 raised puts a magic wand into a kid's hand, and puts a smile on his face.
Again Brian, what a wonderful idea. And a big thank you to everyone stepping up to the challenge.
Thank you,
Glenn
