Life's A Journey

Way to Go, BRUCE! Thanks for Supporting the Kids!

While Evan hails from the opposite side of the country, he has 'kinfolk'  very near and quite dear, living right next door to Charlottesville, VA and the University Children's Hospital.   We have been known to frequent the Hospital and the Harley dealership in those parts a time or two, too. Guess which one we prefer?

LOG A LOAD FOR KIDS

NEED A RIDE?
On April 30 at the John Paul Jones Arena in Charlottesville, VA, prior to their show, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band autographed a 2008 Harley-Davidson Cross Bones Motorcycle for the benefit of the University of Virginia's Children’s Hospital. For a cool $100, you can have a chance to win it. Log a Load for Kids, a grassroots charitable organization of loggers, foresters and sawmills dedicated to raising funds for their local children's hospital, is running this benefit as a raffle at $100 per chance, with 100 percent of the ticket proceeds going to the kids at UVACH.

Only 2500 raffle tickets are available, and they are going fast. The winner will be drawn August 16 at 3:00 p.m. at Charlottesville's McIntire Park, where Log a Load for Kids will be conducting its Fourth Annual Softball Tournament for UVACH. This is the 20th Anniversary of Log a Load for Kids; during that time they have raised more than 29 million dollars nationally for the Children’s Miracle Network and their local children’s hospitals .

To purchase a chance on this very special motorcycle, contact by Rich Palermo at (434) 841-3472 or richpale@earthlink.net, or the University of Virginia Children’s Hospital Development Office at (434) 924-8432.
