I'm sure he will have more to post tomorrow.
Really wish we could have had a better showing but oh Well.

It was supposed to rain all day in Lake Charles, but we didn't get none.

Did you take pictures?

Alright guys I just got word on the final count that was raised yesterday and it blew everybody's minds!!! When everything was said and done we collected $180,000 to put in the trust for Tipper!!! I was floored when my mom called me with the final count and couldn't believe it, that is just awesome!! We had a great time and I even had my deer roast make it to the final round of tasting but didn't win. On another note, the BillyStix rod was an instant hit with Tipper. When he was checking out all of the auction items before it started he told his dad and the lady in charge of the items that he absolutely loved the rod so they came get me to tell him a little bit about it. One of the big money spenders and a good friend heard how much Tipper liked the rod so he secured it with a bid before the auction even started and we let Santa bring it to him while they were doing pictures with the little kids. Tipper was very excited and absolutely loves it!!! He thanked me about 20 times when we were getting him loaded up at the end of the night so he could go home. This event is something that I am so proud to have been a part of and shows how great of a community we have here in Delcambre. We had an awesome turnout in the worst of conditions, it was cold and raining but nothing kept the people away.

ShadMan · #9 12-14-2009, 10:24 AM

Wow, that was great job of fundraising! Too bad there weren't more SaltyCajuns there. Good job, eman and longside. You've got SaltyCash.

longsidelandry · #10 12-14-2009, 10:29 AM

Hey Shad, I think fishmaster911 needs to get hooked up also for coming out. His brother was with him also, I don't remember if he's a member or not though. Also, meaux fishing, Is it October YET? and Montauk17 all put in to help pay for us to enter the cook-off but they couldn't make it due to last minute reasons.

Right behind that was a set of Yankees tickets including airfare went for $12,000

eman · #16 12-14-2009, 06:32 PM

I am humbled that i was able to be a small part of the folks that raised this great ammount of money for tipper.
Folks, Y'all that know me from the other site know that i do alot to raise funds for a few of my favorite charities.
Fishing to hear . org is my favorite .
Also, hooks for hearts. ( louisiana chapter of the american heart assc.)
Also The louisiana Cystic fibrosis foundation.
What is so amazing about the money that was raised for tipper is that
right now do to the economy , Charitable donations are WAY down.
Isn't it great what a little small town in south louisiana can do for one of
their own?

meaux fishing · #17 12-14-2009, 06:36 PM

longsidelandry · #18 12-15-2009, 11:31 AM

Hi Cathy, my name is Ross Landry and I am good friends with Tipper and his dad Chris. It was amazing to see how our community pulled together to help out one of our own!

This is the link for Tipper's Facebook page - http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/pr...7110019&ref=ts

This is the link for Chris' Facebook page - http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/cesponge?ref=ts

You can contact either one of them that way which would probably be the easiest way.
