I can’t name names today, since I’m not focused and I don’t have my program, it’s in Papa’s car. I just want all of the wonderful people who came out Saturday to support Jimmy’s endeavour, Pickin’ on Cystic Fibrosis, to know how much it meant to Papa and I.
You can see the main sponsors here, but none of that replaces the assistance given by some very special individuals.
The members of The Mike Adams Band and Hardline Drive drove from the Detroit area to play their music at the benefit. Jimmy’s band mates and friends in the Windy Mountain Boys drove quite a distance and showed up with big smiles on their faces. Detour Bluegass and Lonesome Journey live closer, but made the considerable commitment of giving their effort and time to our cause.
The members of Pride of Newaygo County again provided the concessions. These kids work hard, and I know they make their families and community proud.
Native Wood Music Store, in addition to their sponsorship, helped with music. Seeing youth involved in music is a good tonic for all of us.
Papa has a large bunch of photos, which I will post later this week. We also have some video, so depending on how it came out, if the bands approve we may have some of that on-line soon.
Sometimes, the best thing you can do is be there, and Papa and I are glad so many people were. Thank you.
If you couldn’t make it, you can still donate. All funds go directly to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation for research to find a cure.
