Dear Ms. Carter,
Enclosed is a donation to The Rainbow Connection on behalf of the “Eye Candy Friday Club.” The Facebook group was “accidentally” started by three friends in September of 2009 after booking our first Kid Rock Chillin’ the Most Cruise. Essentially, it was three friends sharing pictures of Kid Rock each Friday on Facebook in anticipation of the cruise. The popularity grew and before we knew it we had over 50 members, all who were able to get to know each other before embarking on the trip of a lifetime in April of 2010. The group has continued to grow. In preparation for Chillin’ the Most 2, we had t-shirts made to celebrate our love for Kid Rock and our eye candy sisterhood. We sold 106 shirts! While we all do think Kid is “eye candy,” it is his heart that is most attractive. Kid Rock inspires us to be better people. His music has gotten us all through a lot, but so have the friendships that have been made through sharing our love for Kid Rock. The t-shirt project was not intended to be a money making venture, but since we are new to the t-shirt business we made sure we priced the shirts properly to cover all expenses, such as shipping and shipping supplies. The t-shirts were designed and printed in Michigan, and sent to Ohio for distribution. Once the project was complete, there was $308.24 left over, which we have decided to donate to your organization. We know Kid Rock loves the Rainbow Connection, and we are all mothers, aunts or role models to the children in our lives, so we felt it was a natural fit. We believe it is the best way to show Bob Ritchie how much we appreciate what he has done for all of us. We can never repay him for changing our lives, so we thought it would be fitting to honor him by supporting one of his favorite charities. We are proud to be Kid Rock fans, Eye Candy Friday Club members, and now supporters of the Rainbow Connection.
Sincerely,
Meredith George, Founder
Michelle Mason, Co-founder
B.J. Sikorski, Co-founder
Have a blast, y'all on that cruise!
Note to self...sign in before posting comment...ok got it. lemme try this again....
On behalf of Meredith, Michelle and myself...I wanna say it's been a honor to be able to support the Rainbow Connect and honor Kid Rock at the same time. If you ordered a t-shirt it will be arriving any day now, I hope when it arrives, you will say a prayer for the children benefitted from this wonderful organization and also for safe travels for Kid Rock and the crew. This year's ECF photo will have an even more special meaning. Love, Peace and Blessings to everyone and we'll see you on the boat in 39 days beeeotchs~!
What can I say that hasn't already been said! I thank Meredith from the bottom of my heart for getting ECF set up. I thank all the members on this club who make me feel like I belong! And last but not least, to a man who stuck true to himself and accomplished what he wanted to while overcoming adversity from the media and others who, more than likely, was jealous of him, THANK YOU BOBBY for not backing down and staying strong for so many of us! I so look forward to meeting up with everyone on the 2011 CTM Cruise and perhaps even get to meet Kid in person. A special hello and "keep the faith" to The Rainbow Connection! Your support and your willingness to accept Kid for who he is only strengthens his desire to keep the music coming and opening all our hearts to what is real! Sly

We are part of each others lives!!!!!!
I'm so glad to be a part of this group and very pleased to hear that the extra money from the T-shirt sales was donated to the Rainbow Connection. I have developed some new, deep friendships with some of the girls from the ECF Club and I would like to thank Bob Ritchie for that as well. Without him, none of us would have ever met each other or became friends. There are a lot of good people in the fan club here as well and I'm thankful for each and every one of you! Bob keeps it real and the true fans that follow him are as real as it gets as well. Thank you all for sharing your deep passion for the love of music and Bob Ritchie.
P.S. I can't wait to see you all again on that Motherfucking boat and rock that bitch up and down the coast! Yeehaw motherfucker's let's rock!

In addition to the great cause & picture posts every Friday, one of my most favorite things about Eye Candy members is the friendships and bonds that have formed over the past year or so. I have met so many strong intelligent, fun loving, down to earth women in my ECF experience. Aside from swooning over photos of Mr. Ritchie, I have seen people console each other in times of need, share stories of hardship & stories of overcoming hardship, people who get together in various cities forming mini-cruise reunions and welcoming new comers to the 2011 boat. There is truely somthing special about the bonds that the Kid Rock family has formed. I absolutley cannot wait to be back for another crazy round this year. Hugs & kisses, peace & love....rock & roll forever. ~Daisy
