WEGMAN FUND - PLEASE READ THIS!

[Jeff]

I was just looking at keeping the items local so we can control the monies.

An open auction (high bidding), I don't know that Alexa's leather cert will go for $210, but in a raffle, it will.  Likewise with the tire warmers that Richard sells for $175.

At the wegman night?  Sure!  Shit, I paid $160 for a $20 shirt for my wife and $190 for a set of pens that Alexa donated.  But not mid-season on the forum, I just don't see that happening...  Maybe I'm wrong.

I think an auction here is a better idea. Works over on the WERA board, no reason it won't here.Might want to hit a couple of the board vendors up.

Get well soon Jason!
$50 donated.

makes sense, definately make it available to other racing orgs!  Much better potential to go over on price and more likely to get the funds!

Since Jeff and Dawn are willing to keep track of this I say keep it here, spread the word and the stuff will sell for good money, don't worry about that.

Pass the word and you'll get plenty of response. Set a time for the bidding to end on each item or group of items. I think group of three or four would work best.

Have the highest bidder make payment to the Wegman Fund. That can be done online by credit card on our site or by personal check via snail mail.  As soon as payment is received, with a shipping address, I will notify the donor to ship the item.

Good luck with this, I'll keep watching and who knows, I may buy something!

Hi, all. This is Stephanie, Brad's girlfriend. Reading all your posts and good wishes literally brings tears to my eyes. You guys are so awesome and we appreciate your prayers and support so much - they are making a difference!! It will be a long recovery for Brad and there is a possibility he will not be able to ride again. He had some surgeries today, which went as well as could be expected, but he did some pretty good damage to his shoulder. We are hoping he will be off the ventilator in the next couple days, which will tell us a lot about the severity of his head injury.

Our thoughts and prayers are also with Jason. I am in Kansas City all week, so I will keep my eyes open for him because I'm sure they are both on the same unit.

I will try to keep checking the Board so I can keep everyone updated. Right now we are taking one day at a time.......  

Thank you!! Thank you!! Thank you!! Thank you!! Thank you!!

[Jeff]

Okay, give me 1 day to get some pics and set stuff up right.  There will be 3 separate threads for the auctions.  They will be open bidding for 1 week.

Stephanie, thank you for updating the post!  Please make sure you get Gordy's contact info to Brad's family or whoever will be caring for his finances.  And if there is anything ANY of us can do, do not hesitate to ask.  no matter how big or how small.  We'll get it done...

I was just sitting here printing out all the donations and orders coming in for Jason and Brad. I've started a file for each to keep track of the funds and other records.

It's a busy year so far, a bunch of injuries. I don't like seasons like this.

Just read your post Stephanie. please keep us informed on Brad's progress and needs. Our prayers are with him......... and Jason.
