I don't think they would mind one going for a good cause.
One of the rod donors is not a sponsor, so we can use one of their rods.
They just want their rods and name to get out there.
We are also getting some other prizes from non sponsors.
When I get home next week and get all the prizes together, some of us
can get together over some beers and decide what to do.

That would work.....Hell if we cant get a reel..Ill buy one to donate if need be...

This is not a Saltycajun event so Its really open to do what we want in form of getting prizes and such

Also even though a few sponsors or on this site....They also have sponsors me in events which I have ties to them also and good relationships....

Sounds like a plan to me!

Prayers sent, and will be keeping you, Roxy and Eli in them Buddy. I think all of these idea's for both tourneys are great idea's. Ray let me know how many reels you need and I can start w2orking on getting some.

[Ray]

Just one reel would be good, for the rod/reel combo for most spots on a Red.
We can make the tourny a charitable one, if the majority agrees.
I just brought this up cause there is not much going on this time of year.

Guys please do not make this our charity event or contact any of our sponsors without my approval. If you do I will cancel the summer tournament this year. We can help without involving the site sponsors. It is not appropriate to ask them to donate to both. I learned some of this was already going on behind my back and I am not happy about it. It is very hard to find and maintain apons

Casey, not trying to take away from the SC tourny.
Just wanted something to do. Just put it on here cause a lot of fishermen hang out here.
Just thought we could help out another SC member who found out some not so good news.

we got it covered already.....done deal

all the money from the $10 pot will go to Josh's Family

Ray will get all detail when he gets home later this week

[ckinchen]

Guys josh is my friend I want to help or I would not have allowed or started the thread. My heart goes out to him. I just do not want to involve the sponsors then ask the again to he involved two months later. Most organizations have one big event per year ours is the summer event. My firm and I are personally going to help josh.

[ckinchen]

I can give two years of free tax returns (who would not want that) and some new fishing equipment.

THANK YOU MISTER KILLJOY!!!!

Also ray if you want to make the side pot like a said to benefit josh i think that is a great idea. It is a little late in the game to make it a full blown charity tournament as you would need several pieces of information from the center and from me, etc...

It sounds like everyone is cool with the summer event benefiting the center in Josh's sons name so we will certainly move forward with that idea.

Damn I was fixin to jump on that too

I cant express enough gratitude to all of you willing to help and offer prayers. Not only just for my child but for all of the kids this center helps. I wish I could be at the tourney with my little man to express it in person but unfortunately I will be at work. Maybe I can get his mom to bring him out there for the weigh-in so he can hang out with all of you.
