Jerb Needs the Help of All Card Fans!
Posted by frankpos on October 2, 2008
Card Fans,
If you are a Card fan, you have probably run across one or more posts from Jerb- he is the one who has been kind enough to upload a million different videos for those of us not able to watch games or just looking for copies of older games.
Anyway, his 5 year old son has just been diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia and has a very rough time ahead as does his whole family. So we are trying to come up with a few ideas on how to raise some money to help the family get through this situation with one less thing to worry about.
Here are 2 events being held on November 8– Jerb Day
1) BBC and Hell in the Hall will sponsor a day for Jerb and his son at the BBC in St. Matthews on Saturday, November 8.
I have talked with Pat Hagan, owner of BBC. He and I will sponsor a day for Jerb at BBC.
The other Card bloggers are lining up to sponsor/contribute.
There will be a silent auction–so there’s where we put those RP signed BBalls and the other memorabilia you guys can come up with. Just contact me with anything you have…or any ideas.
There will also be music…don’t know who yet.
There will also be an away game with Pitt to watch (time TBA)
Will also try to get the Ladybirds and cheerleaders– and anything else we all can think of.
Pat of BBC is celebrating their anniversary the Sat before (9/1), and will also put donation boxes for Jerb out for that big event.
2) A charity golf outing is being organized and is scheduled for Nov 8th at Oxmoor CC. Foursomes are preferred but anything is better than nothing.

3) If you can not make either event, but are still interested in donating to a worthy cause, here is a website set-up for the cause.
Every one of us has enjoyed Jerb’s labors for us over the years…now, let’s help Jerb and his son!
