O.T. Enjoy Every Sandwich: The Benefit

[cipsucks]

Hey everyone,

 

A quick update on my son Seth and what we have going on July 4th weekend.  Seth is on the list to have a bone marrow transplant in Rochester.  They hope to get the ball rolling sometime late summer, but there are complications which I won't get into here.  It's not a donor thing, his case is so unique, they don't know right now just WTF to do.  It'll be alright.  God has the final diagnosis. 

 

On Saturday, July 2nd, we're having a benefit to help off-set the cost of his medical bills and to help him when he has to be in Rochester for 4 months after the transplant.  He has really good insurance, but the co-pays have added up.  We have a 2 person scramble at Fox Hollow Golf Course in Sutton starting at 9 a.m.  Afterwards, we have free food and a silent auction at Conlee's with all proceeds going to Seth.  If anyone is interested in golfing, or, if you would like to donate an item for the auction, please pm me.

 

I have been on the receiving end of solicitations and they can be really irritating.  I hope no one takes offense.  I consider all of you family.  (not necessarily a good thing, some of my family, I dislike   )

 

Thanks for putting up with me!

Cip what kind of things are you looking for as donations?

Thanks for the update cip.  Wish I were in the area to attend.

 

Of  course, Best wishes to Seth.

Cip what kind of things are you looking for as donations?

Anything.  So far we have model cars, Husker memorabilia, gift certificates, quarters of beef among other items.  Also, cash donations are welcome.

Cip - Check your PMs

Cip, I  should be up for at least some of the day.  I'll be in touch.

Cip, I will be unable to attend the event but would like to make a contribution. You can tell me here how to make the check out and where to send it since there may be others who would like the info. Otherwise, just send me a PM. I'm sure things will go well at Mayos. Say hello to the Dalai Lama if you see him since I think he still commutes to Rochester from India for his annual physical.

Thanks, jimmy!  I also want to publicly thank colhusker for all he's done.  I truly consider posters on this site to be close friends, even though I haven't met some in person.  The weather forecast for next Saturday looks perfect for golf, and we still have a few spots open.  Afterwards, we're having Nebraska Star Beef brisket sandwiches with all the fixin's  at Conlee's.  It'll be a hoot!  Checks can be made out to Seth Klute Benefit and sent to Conlee's  P.O. Box 41  Hampton, NE  68843

Bump.  I encourage anyone who can respond to do so; great cause.  

 

Cip, check your email.

 

P.S.  I will bid high on any jars of Cip's salsa at the auction.

I wanted to thank colhusker, jimmy, HB and Royalfan for being extremely generous.  Also wanted to let people know we have a lot of cool sports memorabilia being auctioned off Saturday evening.  Some of the things included are a 1994 National Championship Team autographed football with case.  Other autographed items feature T.O., Charlie McBride, DVH, Tommie Frazier, Ahman Green, Ameer, Prince Amukamara, Alex Gordon, Bubba Starling, 2007 Husker VBall team, Joe Namath and Scottie Pippin.  Getting some Red Sox World Series championship autographed stuff in tomorrow.  There's a lot of other really neat stuff as well.  If you get a chance, come to Conlee's tomorrow.  The free food will be great.  (Just got done making the cole slaw.  Now, back to the kitchen to start on the baked beans...)

I forgot some of the coolest stuff.  Been a hectic week.....  a rare Michael Jordan 1987 slam dunk contest autographed framed poster, an authentic Stanford helmet that was on ESPN Game day autographed by Herbstreit, Fowler, Corso and Pollack, autographed Sammy Sosa 1998 National all-star jersey, and a Scott Posednick  autographed World Champion #22 Jersey.  And, A Rick Rush serigraph called "Reflections" issued 7-23-99.  The retirement of MJ, Elway and Gretzky.  It is awesome.

Appreciate the update, Cip, and see you Saturday night at Conlee's!   Seriously, put some Cip's salsa on that auction table.  

[colhusker]

Hope the weather is better there, you'd be rained out here today.  Good luck!

[cipsucks]

colhusker, we had a one hour rain delay, but we got the golf in.     The auction at Conlee's was exceptional, and it was great spending some time with Mr. and Mrs. HB!

 

We do have a few sports related items that we didn't get to at the auction.  I'll have them available for the rest of this week, so if someone is interested, pm me.  Here's what left:

 

the autographed Michael Jordan 1987 Slam Dunk all-star framed poster

the Stanford Cardinal helmet that was on Game Day set autographed by Fowler and the boys

an autographed Kevin  Millar baseball in a nice case with the phrase "Cowboy Up" and "W.S. Champs '04" on it

Albert Pujols authentic #5 Cards jersey

autographed Bubba Starling blue Royals jersey

Scott Podsednik #22 World Champion White Sox authentic autographed jersey

 

Thanks, everyone!
