Help a fellow angler please
This post pertains to my uncle who was diagnosed in late 2008 with colon cancer, which has quickly spread to his liver and mouth. He is 52 years old, has a wife, 5 younger kids, a grandson on the way, and was forced to take unemployment from his job. My family has organized a benefit for him on May 23rd, at Holy Rosary Church in Erie, PA from 6pm-11pm.
I am in charge of donations and putting together a few "themed baskets" for the benefit. Since hunting, fishing, and birding have been such a large part of his life and very important to him, I decided to do a fishing and also a hunting basket.
I am posting to see if anyone knows of any local Erie Business that would be willing to donate items or money to the cause, or yourselves for that matter. I have contacted the big names-Gander, Dicks, Erie Sports Store, and am trying to work out something with them with gift cards/donations of items, But we would still like a lot more donations. Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated by the family, and every last dollar will go towards his medical bills incurred throughout this last year.
Thank you in advance.
