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
