Tickets for St Judes Patients as guests at Mid South Nationals in Memphis
 

Currently we plan to have some young patients from St Jude's Childrens Hospital and their families attend the Mid South National at Memphis and join us for lunch on Saturday. I have conned two of my friends into entering their cars in the race just so we could do this. Since this is a national event the track has no ticket control and NHRA said they cannot provide us with any tickets.

If you will have any extra tickets or would like to join in purchasing some, please let us know. We will not have a rough number from the sign up sheets they have posted until later next week. Some may be out of town patients with long term care staying at the Ronald McDonald or Target houses and some may be local Memhpis patients.

(Let's hope there are some drag racing fans among the young patients!)

Thanks in advance,
Bobby

Bobby, you know that I will help with some tickets. I will have both cars for the kids there. Just need to find out how many Hot Dogs we need.

Come Div. 4 racers and help us out


Thanks

Please let me know where to send a check towards your ticket fund. I think the St. Jude's organization is one of the finest non-profits in the country and they are on my annual support list. I'd love to help send a child to a race.

Re: Tickets for St Judes Patients as guests at Mid South Nationals in Memphis
 

Thank you for the assistance offer Julie, we will let you know. And what can I say about Mr. Brannon? I was lucky to be able to tag along racing with Tom and Carol Rix and meet so many great people, and most fortunate to meet Bobby.

I'm skipping McDonald's today so with that and the saved gallon of gas I'm 1/2 way to another ticket!

Imagine the POSITIVE STORY ON DRAG RACING the track could use to let EVERYONE in FREE for this event from ST. Judes. Do you have a PAYPAL address I will send today. You also gave me a great idea to do at our track with a childrens hospitol 45 miles away. If you cant do paypal I will send a check. Being from Memphis my mom worked there as a volunteer many years ago.

Bobby Di, you have a PM.

Re: Tickets for St Judes Patients as guests at Mid South Nationals in Memphis
 

Bobby Brannon's statement certainly made an impression on me. I'm blessed to have three healthy children. I could not imagine what some people must endure.

I won't be there until late Thursday night, but please look me up Friday morning and I'll have two full event credentials to donate towards your effort.

Re: Tickets for St Judes Patients as guests at Mid South Nationals in Memphis

Those of you who have responded and I don't have contact info should have a personal message waiting. The others I will call. (Guess I need to read the directions for this thing better, only took me 15 minutes to figure out what the heck I was doing!)

Re: Tickets for St Judes Patients as guests at Mid South Nationals in Memphis
 

Racers, Why would you not help these KIDS from ST.JUDE????????????????????????????? I am confused!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have a special need child. I would not trade her for a NORMAL CHILD.
Brittney has showed me how to handles every aspect of LIFE. She is the LOVE OF MY LIFE. I do alot with special kids , That is what I do. Please give if you can.

Thanks
For ALL the HELP

Bobby

If anyone ever meet Brittney YOU would understand

Re: Tickets for St Judes Patients as guests at Mid South Nationals in Memphis
 

Sorry to say NHRA dose not care, DYAInc has asked many times and got a sorry but no answer. IHRA on the other hand has responded everytime we have asked with a yes. Tracks like Atco, Englishtown and Rockingham have also helped so if you are doing NHRA you need cash.
Bobby Di please post so we all can help.

Re: Tickets for St Judes Patients as guests at Mid South Nationals in Memphis

How did this go?

Re: Tickets for St Judes Patients as guests at Mid South Nationals in Memphis
 

Daren,

It went very well, and I cannot thank those that offered support enough, especially Bobby Brannon. When dealing with sick kids nothing is ever etched in stone and two of them were admitted Friday to St Jude's from out-treament and another one had a sudden procedure the day before and couldn't attend but her family was able to come and get a little brake. There was even a class on how to make Chicago Style hotdogs. (Luckily no one asked for ketchup...) And we did have some come who just found out about it from one of the families and had not signed up. Like dinner at my grandmothers, there is always room for a few more.

On the other hand I received a call from a mother Saturday who's son really wanted to attend but the doctors were letting them go home after nearly two months there and she apologized, then said SHE really needed to get home but asked if he could come next year. Sooo

One youngster had never been to a drag race before and I think was a little shy at first. A young lady sitting in Bobby's Firebird with the belts on gave him a big smile and a big thumbs up!

Lord willing I'll be older and a little smarter next year but I'd like to do it again. So those of you who offered to help please expect to be getting calls soon for next year.

And we also owe Miss Brittney Brannon a big thanks for the use of her dishes and utensils. We would have been in deep you know what with out them!!!

Re: Tickets for St Judes Patients as guests at Mid South Nationals in Memphis
 

I would like to thank Charlie Ford who got help from "NHRA" for free tickets but had to do some Electrical work for them. Thanks Charlie.. Also would like to "THANKS" Kenny and Amy Faulk along with Nathan "Bee Bop" Davis who donated $$$$$$$$$$$ for tee shirts. I also got help fron Jason Hughes with Nitro Fish Pro Stock Racing Team with tee shirts discount.
Thanks everyone who help with the St. Jude kids and families that I may have missed.

A "BIG" Thanks for Bobby DiDomenico for getting this outing setup.


Thanks The kids and families had a great time from what they told us.. Pictures in the Firebird was great.
