SEND-A-KID
To Camp (MDA)
Rob Kern’s First Annual MDA Tournament
Exceeds Expectations!
When speaking with Rob
Kern as to how he decided to run a fund
raising shuffleboard tournament for MDA
‘send a kid to camp’, he stated, “This
(shuffleboard tournaments) is what I do”. Rob decided that rather than the usual “arrested for a
day” MDA participation, he felt he could do
more and invite fellow shuffleboard patrons to
this AB / ABC (dependent upon how many signed
up) draw tournament and with 32 players, the
decision was to have an AB Draw.
Rob Kern is a member of
PLNG (Michigan Pioneers-Legends and the New
Generation), an organization founded by Betty
Parrish of Waterford, Michigan designed to
promote recognition of players and promoters
of shuffleboard; as well as giving back to the
community.
Rob’s goal, teamed up
with CoCo and Cindy Brown, was to raise enough
money to send one kid to camp, which costs
$600. Sponsor
sheets were available for those wishing to
help solicit contributions.
Registration fee was $10, with all
registration money going to MDA.
Those with contributions $10 or more
did not have to pay registration fees.
Fifty / Fifty drawings were held, as
well as many wonderful door prize tickets for
prizes donated; including a new five CD disc
changer/player donated by Betty Parrish.
Thanks to the wonderful
donations and participation from the 32
players signed up, Rob’s goal was exceeded
by more than 200% bringing in a grand total of
$1,449. Special
thanks to the top three
solicitors / sponsors.
Wayne Atkinson, Melinda Flynn, and host
Jason Papa were all responsible for
contributions each in excess of $200.
