<span class="bold"><span class="italic">Fundraising</span></span>
The Hannah for Abby Tournament being organized by the Flight Club will be the recipient of the funds raised by this year's Mid Winter Open.
This is copied directly from the Flight Club website and it lets you know who Hannah and Abby are and the reason the Lafayette disc golf community is committed to this cause...
<span class="italic"><span class="red">"Abby Mondy is a senior varsity softball player and fellow disc golfer that plans to attend the University of Southern Mississippi next year. She is severely allergic to peanuts and her allergy is so bad - she can't even be in the same room with someone who's eaten or touched them. One day, Abby came in close contact with a classmate who'd eaten trail mix during lunch causing her esophagus to close and restrict her breathing, sending her into anaphylactic shock, that's happened about five times this year.
Abby says she anxious about attending college because it'll be an uncontrolled environment without the help she used to with her coaches and school nurse. Fortunately, one of her former teachers told her family about a peanut detecting dog that can sniff out anything involving peanuts.
Hannah, the dog, is a German Shorthaired Pointer and needs to be specially-trained which costs around 15-thousand dollars. This particular resource will change Abby's life.
We are hosting this event to help cover the expense of the dog so that she can continue her education and sports safely."</span></span>
We will raise money two ways at the Mid Winter Open..
A 50/50 cash raffle with merchandise added - $2 per ticket or 3 for $5.
A reasonably priced, delicious lunch - $7 to fill your belly.
Kept the entry fees unbelievably low for this one so folks would surely have a few bucks left in their pockets to participate in the fundraising effort and I expect most players will favor this cause with their generosity. Abby is a wonderful young lady and is most deserving of our efforts.
<span class="bold"><span class="italic">Lunch</span></span>
I have no problem saying that Lafayette has set the bar pretty high for disc golf tournament lunches and they are almost always free to the players. We decided to sell lunch at this one for $7 (about the same as a fast food lunch) to add to the money raised for Abby this year just like we did for the Little Angels Foundation last year at the MWO.
So Comeaux and I were unusually indecisive when we were discussing what to cook for this tournament. You never know, we may just go out and kill something ourselves and cook it for everybody.
Rest assured, it will be good.
As always, kids 16 and under eat for FREE.
