somebody shut me the fark up.
Billy (FatBoyz) has asked me to put this out so that no one thinks it’s a joke... To be honest, it’s anything but.
This is a benefit chili contest for the Children’s Hospital of Milwaukee. I want to say this up front; there are is no prize money for this event. All money raised goes directly to the hospital. There are going to be trophies, and if I know Billy, they are going to be out of this world! The other thing I want to emphasize is that this is a FAMILY FRENDY EVENT!
This thing has taken on a life of its own. So many people have called him just to say ‘What can I do?’ including some of our own brothers and sisters. Here is a taste:
The way this is going this list is going to grow. So how about it, ‘ya, wana come out and play for the day’?
OK, I admit that I’m a soft touch for sick kids. I also know that for some of you this may be to great a distance to travel. I of all people know that the cost of gas is going through the roof (the most expensive gas in the country is in Chicago). Do you think that this is going to stop us from asking you to host your own event for the Children’s Hospital? Wouldn’t it be great if we could get this going across the country?

This thing has taken on a life of its own. So many people have called him just to say ‘What can I do?’ including some of our own brothers and sisters. Here is a taste:
- Jay (jpw23) is having his Jam Fest the same day. He has announced that all profits from his event are being donated to the hospital.
- One of the local TV stations is going to be here to cover the event. They are working with the station by Jay to see if they can do a simulcast of both events in hopes that is picked up nationally.
- Local Bands are signing up to play here during the day.
- A local beer distributor is working on discounting (and possibly donating) beer that can be sold to raise additional funds.
- A charter bus service is working on letting us use one of their busses for transportation to bring some of the kids from the hospital to the event.
- A local classic car club is talking about bringing out as Billy described it “some of their most coolest cars” for every one to see.
- One of the local Country Music stations is talking about covering the event.
- We are working with one of the local hotels to get discounted (and maybe even donated) rooms for the competitors.
The way this is going this list is going to grow. So how about it, ‘ya, wana come out and play for the day’?
