Title: thanks to all the pros !
Post by: DON DRAPER on February 15, 2007, 11:19:17 AM
i'd like to thank all the players who helped me out today while i was in council bluffs. i spoke to jeff carter several weeks ago about he and some of his pals autographing a pba bowling pin. well, thanks to jeff i was able to get at least most of the exempt players autographs. there is a young man in our community that has been diagnosed with leukemia. this autographed pin will be raffled off to the highest bidder and the proceeds will go towards a fund for his medical expenses. jeff took time out of his busy schedule to help a young man whom he'd never met----this is what the world needs more of. i mentioned this fundraiser to brian voss as he was signing the pin and he said this was a wonderful thing. once again, thanks to all the pros today for helping out and a special thanks to jeff carter for giving so much of yourself.

Very cool. Jeff Carter is a stand-up guy and an asset to the game of bowling. We need more guys like Jeff on the national tour.

Best wishes to the kid and kudos to you, Greg, for putting this together.

That was great of the pros for taking time to sign the pin & greater of you for thinking of a youngster in need. My thoughts & prayers for him & his family & I hope you raise lots of money. Greg, when & where will the raffle be held?

Greg that is a stand up thing, and hope all works out for the young man. Great to hear the pros really step up too.
