Jammin' For Joey

I now interrupt this normally happy sappy blog with something a bit different...

As most of you know, George lost his little brother Joey in an accident nearly five years ago; like George and JD, Joey was an excellent bowler. After Joey passed away a scholarship fund was set up in Joey's name and for the past four years, our family has been able to give two deserving high school kids a $100 scholarship toward higher learning. After this years' scholarship presentation, however, the scholarship fund ran dry. Not wanting to see this scholarship stop, a woman who was (and still is) involved with the league Joey bowled on set up "Jammin' For Joey" with help from another local bowling alley, a nightclub, and a local band. Tonight in West Chicago, at The Kingpin Nightclub(@Bowling Green Sports Center) from 7:00-10:00 p.m. the band Back Stage Pass is going to be playing. Tickets are $20 at the door with all proceeds going to the scholarship fund...if you're not able to make it and would still like to make a donation (in whatever amount you see fit) please contact me and I'll let you know how you can do that...and if you are unable to contribute financially, please keep us in your prayers, as we know it's going to be a fairly difficult night for all of us; a very bittersweet night indeed.
