Keith Segovia Day (A Message from Bob Pepi)
(Stamford, CT) -
Hi All, Just a
preliminary update on Saturday event.
Yesterday, via
player and walk-in donations, concession, ticket donations, shirt sales we
took in about $18,000. Added to previously pledged sponsor and foundation
contributions of about $18,000 we have collected so far about $36,000 for
Keith. Expenses for printing and shirts total about $1,800 leaving a
sizeable amount to pay bills.
Info on the
upcoming concert will be available soon. I will follow with an email and
will also post info on our league web site. We hope to bring in a nice
crowd for that event and are in the beginning stages of plans for a golf
tournament in conjunction with Burns Tavern.
I spent most
of the day drying out equipment and clothes and thinking about the great
deal of pleasure that you all brought to Keith and his wonderful family.
He was so excited to see so many friends and supporters that he played too
many games and had to go home for a nap. You have done a great deal to
sustain his fighting spirit.
The kind of
generosity displayed yesterday was amazing. Despite constant rain and even
sleet the crowds really didn't diminish. Many people just changed, dried
off and came back. So many people came unannounced and just stayed all day
to help. I cannot thank you all enough. If I tried to be specific I would
leave out too many wonderful people.
I did take
home a few jackets and chairs. If you left them get to me. Look for the
Advocate follow-up article this week.
I'll be in
touch soon. Bob Pepi
