Jerb needs help from all Card fans!

by frankpos on Oct 2, 2008 12:17 PM EDT

If you are a Card fan, you have probably run across one or more posts from Jerb- he is the one who has been kind enough to upload a million different videos for those of us not able to watch games or just looking for copies of older games.

Anyway, his 5 year old son has just been diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia and has a very rough time ahead as does his whole family. So we are trying to come up with a few ideas on how to raise some money to help the family get through this situation with one less thing to worry about.

Here are 2 events being held on November 8-- Jerb Day

1) BBC and Hell in the Hall will sponsor a day for Jerb and his son at the BBC in St. Matthews on Saturday, November 8.

The other Card bloggers are lining up to sponsor/contribute.

There will be a silent auction--so there's where we put those RP signed BBalls and the other memorabilia you guys can come up with.

There will also be music...don't know who yet.

There will also be an away game with Pitt to watch (time TBA)

Will also try to get the Ladybirds and cheerleaders-- and anything else we all can think of.

Pat Hagan, owner of BBC, is celebrating their anniversary the Sat before (9/1), and will also put donation boxes for Jerb out for that big event.

2) A charity golf outing is being organized and is scheduled for Nov 8th at Oxmoor CC. Foursomes are preferred but anything is better than nothing.

3) If you can not make either event, but are still interested in donating to a worthy cause, here is a website set-up for the cause.

Every one of us has enjoyed Jerb's labors for us over the years...now, let's help Jerb and his son!

Here's a sampling of the goodies that will be there

Guys, if you have items for the auction please PM or call me 807-3153, ahead of time so we can work up the auction sheets and coordinate.

Here’s a sampling of the goodies that will be there (from the guys at Card Empire):

Quick update, Frank. I got in touch with the KC Chiefs, Sacramento Kings, and Oakland Raiders. The Chiefs and Raiders said they should definitely be able to get something for us from Kolby Smith and Michael Bush. The Kings asked me to send them an email, but they also thought it wouldn’t be a problem to get a couple items from Theus and Garcia. The Falcons and Broncos asked me to send letters to Harry Douglas, Chris Redman, and Elvis Dumervil. Those went out this morning.

Shawn and family in my prayers.

I admire you Frank so much for getting this out to your Card fans, and I hope it is a tremendous success.

It is bad enough when cancer strikes adults, but our children are so precious and our innocents. I wish the family and Shawn the best, and a full recovery with so many new methods of treatment today

My husband was a Shriner and worked diligently with families in this area whenever there was a child that needed medical care. All he had to do was call the Temple in Louisville and such child would get immediate care at Kosair Hospital, with help from the club here re gas expenses, food etc.
