It's such a cool thing that if you get the equipment through him, (Crouch) will come and help you fundraise at no charge.

He will sign until there are no more people. But (Crouch) wants to be home in time to put his kids to bed. And from the time we open the doors, we're going to have games for kids and adults.

We are a little over halfway there. For our last fundraising event, we want to push it over the top.

Not only is this is a great fund-raiser for our community but, it's a once in a life time opportunity for families all over the area to come and meet Eric Crouch. People should plan to stay and meet the different athletes that we are bringing in, enjoy the food and games and stay and bid on the many unique family oriented items at the silent and live auctions. It will be a fun day for the whole family.

Karen raised $1,000. That will help pay for the care of the animals at the shelter.

We plan to help out at the shelter there for four or five days.
