Hi all,
I wanted to make everyone in the AZ community aware of the struggle my best friend and his family are going through and ask for your help.
Two months ago my best friends daughter Tessa, a beautiful 16 year old girl from Dyer In., was diagnosed with a very rare form of bone cancer called Extraskeletal Osteosarcoma. This type of cancer develops quickly and is very aggressive so starting treatment (chemotherapy) immediately was the best plan of attack. Tessa has been through two of the six scheduled treatment sessions thus far and they’re starting to take their toll on her physically and her family financially. This is just the beginning of a long road to beating this disease and Tessa and her family could use all the support we can give them.
Within the next month and a half or so I will auctioning off a very nice Josey cue which Keith is in the process of building. He and his wife Sherrie have graciously donated this cue to help this young girl and her family.
The auction will be a 56 spot type auction and each spot will be $50. I've never done this before so any help with witch lottery to use etc. would help. This will be a great opportunity to help out a family in need and possibly win a very nice Josey cue.
Please respond in this thread and let me know what number(s) you want then donate $50 per number and PM me the confirmation number of your donation and the info along with it.....see below for more info and where to donate.....
Here are the details of the auction and the cue:
When the auction starts which should be sometime in the beginning of June I'm guessing, all auction entries will be placed through a Paypal charity donation link placed on our friend's web site that will give each entrant an E-receipt which makes your "donation entry" tax deductible! These entries go directly into a "Friends Of Tessa" bank account set up at our local Peoples Bank here in Dyer IN. Entrants will post in the thread that they have donated and include their Paypal ID's as well as which number(s) they want and when their donation is verified I will post them in the thread which is how I've seen it's done. I encourage everyone to visit this site and go to the "Friends Of Tessa" link, see the "Donate" button and also review her benefit flyer which explains about the benefit we are holding locally for the family.

The cue will be a Josey Babalon. As of right now the wood combos will be African Blackwood base and Birdseye inlays with small silver dot accents in the main points forearm and sleeve just as the one pictured below.
It will come with 2 shafts and a nice 1X2 case as well.
NEW UPDATE.....MARC TURCASSO (matcase) has graciously donated a custom 1x2 case that will accompany the cue!!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH MARC FOR HELPING US HELP THIS FAMILY AND THEIR DAUGHTER!!!!!!.....
