Maybe I should not post this, but here goes.
I will not be able to bowl the SOAS in my town this week. I will be supporting a guild with the Seattle Children's Hospital. It is our annual dinner and silent auction. For more info look at the below links.

Mike,
I applaud you for doing what you are doing. I can't even imagine losing a child or grandchild.
You are a class act and have always been a great supporter of the SOAS.
I will make this commitment to you and your guild that 1/2 of any earnings I make at the Eugene tournament I will donate for Jacob.
I also put the challenge out to all other bowlers in the SOAS to do the same. We always hear the we don't bowl for the money but of the competetion between friends.
Well, one of our friends could use our help so let's support him and see how much we can raise for him and the memory of his grandson.
Rick Guined

Mike,
I will miss seeing you at the tournament, but I know you will be doing a lot of good at the auction and hope to see you next tournament. I think Rick's idea is a great one, and I too will donate half of any winnings from the Eugene tournament towards this worth cause.

First of all I would like to say thank you.
The second thing is that I was informed at bowling last night that the Eugene tournament is not this weekend but next weekend. This means that I will be bowling the Eugene Tournament.
Again thank you.

I just got back late this afternoon. The dinner and silent auction was awesome. We set many records. The highest total we had in a year was $17,000 with a 12 person membership. The total for a 12 person membership for just the silent auction and dinner (drum roll please) in one event $15,000, this doubled what we did last year for the silent auction and dinner. I hope to have a short slide show for review.

Mike,
Gregg would also like to pledge 1/2 of his Eugene winnings as well. We know how precious support can be and would like to be on the giving end. Here's to good bowling!!!!!
