    Local Fan Asking for Assistance
    stud722 says (12 Jul '12)

    I am not sure which email address is best to ask my question. I met Kid at the Pro-Am Golf Tournament at the Buick Open a few years ago. We had the chance to chat for a while, not sure if he would remember me or not. Though I only had a brief time with Kid, his generosity was amazing. He was handing out tickets to the kids in the crowd. I was shocked at how great and caring Kid was. I know it is a long shot, but I have a favor to ask. I am a chair person for our local Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. I have Cystic Fibrosis myself, a genetic disease that affects the respitory and digestive systems. When I was diagnosed in 1986, prognosis was very poor. Currently, there is no cure for CF. I have been doing fundraising for over 20 years, helping raise funds for new medical research and medication development. Quality of life and life expectancy has improved dramatically because of fundraising event such as mine all across the country. My biggest event of the year is coming up soon, a 38 team golf event where I hope to raise just over $10,000 for the 5th straight year. I was wondering if Kid would be willing to send us an item to raffle off at our event. My contact information can be provided if he is willing. I really appreciate your time.

    Cheers,

    Tim

Hi Stud. If you look up top, there is a charity button which will take you to the Kid Rock foundation. That may be a better resourse to ask...
