 Sorry that you had to go through the chemo stuff too, but glad to hear that your son was able to battle through it and win!OK, so how about a 2-day "Surf and Turf" type fundraiser? One day of clays, one day of fishing. Separate winners for each day, and one "Iron Man" winner that places highest in both surf and turf? Where would be a good place to do something like this...somewhere with both a nice clay range and a good marina for the weigh-in? Preferrably a place with a pavilion of some sort that we can have for the day for live music, auction, raffle, etc. Thanks again to everyone who has offered their support. I'll definitely take y'all up on it.

Hey Shad, I'm a member of a non-profit org. Our org puts on benifits for people with medical expenses. All money raised for the patient goes into a account for that patient and medical bills are paid form this account by our org to ensure funds are not misused. Being in this org I have been involved in many fundraisers and I will do everything to help you with yours.
Whatever you decide to do I suggest you have a live auction. This is a great way to make money because all items are donated and once sold are 100% profit. I will do all I can to help with your fundraiser so please keep me posted.

i don't know how if you are willing to travel but grand isle has ample places to fish and has the sanddollar and bridgeside marinas with plenty of bait and two huge pavillions made just for tournaments and weigh-ins. go on the net and look them up. great accomidations. i am not familiar with the west, so i do not know where there good spots would be.

OK, I think we may try to set up two separate events on different weekends. I'm thinking maybe Lake Pontchartrain for the eastsiders and Calcasieu on the west side. Would that make sense? If so, I'll get a poll thread going for each to get the ball rolling.
From what fishin fool said, there is a good gun club in Lake Charles for the west side event, and I'm sure there is a one in New Orleans somewhere as well, right? Maybe do two different surf & turf events?

Like most said on here a skeet shoot or fishing tournament would be the best. I my youngest son that has special needs. He is 6 and still wears diapers and cannot speak. But hey, I would not change nothing about him. Like my wife and I say things could always be worse. Great what you are doing.

yeah guys that sounds good. for all the westsiders you can attend both tournaments the east and west. this is not a east vs. west. we are trying to do it were everyone can be fish in it. but we need to hear from all of you and get the word out about this organization that shadman has put together. the cause is worth it!!

Any input? I'm ready to get rolling on this, but need to find locations (marinas with an area for auctions, gun clubs, etc) and dates that don't conflict with other major events. Thanks in advance!
