LESS THAN A WEEK TO GO before Maranda's Medical Trip Fundraiser

Taken from - http://rodpedersen.blogspot.com/ -

With less than a week to go before Maranda's Medical Trip Fundraiser, Brian and I are woefully low on ticket sales for the steak night fundraiser at the Press Box Sports Bar, Monday, May 25 at 4:00 to 9:00 p.m. . Come on Regina, this is what we DO! At this rate, we could only turn over a few hundred dollars of the thousands of $$$$$ needed to get Maranda to California. I know lots of people are talking about it, but only a few have stepped up to the plate. C'mon, I don't ask for much but this is important.

LOOK AT THAT PICTURE OF HER!!!! And then imagine if it was your child. Maranda's condition is listed below but here are the details on how YOU can help out the family. FYI: Her Dad and I used to work together on 620 CKCK. Between now and Monday evening, you can purchase steak night tickets for just $20 at Harvard Broadcasting (CKRM, Wolf 104.9, Lite 92 FM) at 1900 Rose St. in downtown Regina. Come down between 9:00 and 5:00, but not over the noon hour as we're closed. You can purchase your tickets from Jody right at the front desk. OR, you can purchase tickets at the Press Box Sports Bar at 909 Albert St. N.

If they're sold out, please leave your name and $20 on the list and come back Monday evening to get your ticket. OR, you can email Brian Murray at sweatinbuckets@hotmail.com or me at sportsline@620ckrm.com and we'll even come and meet you. If you can not make it to the steak night or you're from out of town, please consider mailing a cheque to: MARANDA'S MEDICAL FUNDRAISER, Attn: Chelsey Monz Conexus Credit Union South Albert Branch 4540 Albert St. P.O. Box 1960 Stn Main, REGINA, SKS4P 4M1

Thanks already to the Regina Pats, Phillips Distillers, the Cypress Cyclones, Molson and Stantec Consulting for donating items for the silent auction. Maranda is a 6 year old girl with a rare medical condition known as Microcephaly. Microcephaly means that a child’s brain has stopped growing. Children with microcephaly have very small heads, and may have mental retardation, facial distortions, dwarfism, hyperactivity, seizures, difficulties with co-ordination and balance, and other brain abnormalities. Some children with microcephaly will also have decreased life expectancy. There are over 91 known causes of microcephaly. Maranda’s condition is so rare she has not yet received a diagnosis.

PLEASE HELP MARANDA'S FAMILY OUT! WE HOPE TO HEAR FROM YOU
