We've raised money in the past for the Spina Bifida Association of CO, and many of you have donated to this (...thank you). This tournament, however, is a fundraiser directly benefiting Alex and the equipment challenges she's facing (and will continue to face as she grows). Some examples include devices like a specialized "kid-cart" to aid in mobility, modified chairs for seating and travel, hand-powered tricycle for playing, etc.
This tournament is a fun way to raise money, although you certainly don't have to bowl to contribute. We'll also accept donations. If anyone wants to contribute w/o bowling we've set up a secure account through Venmo.
The simplest way to donate is through texting.
Just text: "Pay Diffee $X for Alex" to 646-863-9557 (where X=amount) - then you'll get a confirmation & secure phone call where you can enter debit or credit card info. It's pretty cool (and safe). Or you can go to our Venmo donation page here.
Time:
Sunday, October 16 · 1:00pm - 5:00pm
Location:
Brunswick Zone - Westminster, CO
9150 Harlan St
Westminster, CO
There will be tons of prizes and drawings, as well as a colorama. If you'd like to bowl, you can RSVP on our facebook event page here and just pay at the event. IF you'd like to register a team of 4 just call Sonia at 303-702-1973 and she'll take care of it for you.
Hope to see you there.

Two days ago at their 20 week ultrasound, my daughter Jill and her husband Sean were told that their new baby will have spina bifida when it is born in February. They are scared and concerned about the unknown. I've read your journey from day one after reading your post on the SDKids Blog. Jill and Sean have a lot in common with you. They have a strong faith in God, they're about you age, they love camping and Colorado. If they could, they would move back to Colorado in an instant. Sean worked at Brechenridge during a few winters. They are now living in Green Bay, WI where they will have some help with this new baby. I'm going to suggest they read your posts when they are ready. Thanks for all of the insights into the day to day life of living with a child with SB. Lin Persick linperk@new.rr.com
