Operation BBQ - Now Taking Donations!
 

Hi folks,

I hope everyone has had a chance to read about what Sammy Baugh Fan (Mike Hedrick) is doing for our wounded troops on [URL="http://www.redskinswarpath.com/parking-lot/18664-payback-operation-bbq-for-our-troops.html"]August 15[/URL]. Everyone can agree that this is a truly great thing. Mike has dedicated his time, money and efforts into making this a successful "Thank You" to our troops.

To pull this off, it will not be free or even cheap. Conservative estimates are in the $2-3k range. Mike is willing to bear this burden, but I do not believe it should all rest on his shoulders.

Many people have PayPal, so I am going to ask that for people who wish to do so, wire your donations to me at [email]chris@skinsfan.us[/email]
Every little bit helps. He said that even $5 buys 75 buns. Mike does not have PayPal, so I am volunteering my account for this. I am local to Mike and will try to meet up with him around the the middle of August to present him with a check for the donations received.

As a slight incentive, I will donate $5 for every donation received via my account.

Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide.

When I meet them I will tell them of your love and support as well.

Thank you.

Sammy Baugh Fan, I had mentioned some thing about maybe getting some pork donated but I struck out on that as I spoke with the guy the other day.

Re: Operation BBQ - Now Taking Donations!
 

I'll will donate a $100 and challenge any skins fan to donate what they can. If you will PM me with an address and who to send a check to I'll be glad to send the money.

Did you need any volunteers to help out?

Re: Operation BBQ - Now Taking Donations!
 

Didn't 724Skinsfan say he was just getting into the Rent-a-Tent business with his dad? Maybe you could talk to him about tents

Re: Operation BBQ - Now Taking Donations!
 

Hoffmasters Marina gave me $500
Grandmother Millie POrter gave me $100
Randon folks gave me $40

Today I make my rounds to my local business friends. I'd like to end the day with afew thousand bucks. I also may have another source for tents, tables and chairs and stuff to save some money.

I have over 10 Teams and 10 big rig smokers and a lot of volunteers.

Things will get rolling now
