LIF - Fund Raiser for Charlie

Hi BA community,

Thank you for taking the time to read this post. I want to ask your help. About a week ago a really good friend of mine and his family had to have emergency surgery for their dog Charlie to remove a large mass on his spleen. As we all know, life throws unexpected things our way, but as a result the family has incurred an $8,000 medical bill, and for some stupid reason his pet insurance isn't going to cover any of it. In good news, Charlie did have surgery and a biopsy that came back negative. He is doing much better and recovering now.

So in true Beer Advocate fashion, I would like to run a LIF to help raise some money to offset the costs they are facing. I am going to be donating a box of beer to help support the cause I've also received support from
@UcDru @campa86 and @jrs3994243 who will also be donating boxes.

If you can possibly donate anything, please let me know by sending a PM. Anyone who donates will be entered for a chance to win one of these 4 boxes. Every $10 donation will add another chance for you. Thank you as ever, I greatly appreciate your time!
If you would like to donate, please send PayPal to [email protected] and include your BA name in the notes section so I can contact you. Thank you.

Box 1 - Illinois BA Beers

Box 2 - Ohio Beers from @UcDru

Box 3 - 6 Shipper from Cali @campa86

Box 4 - Box of Schramm's from @jrs3994243

This will run until Saturday March 11th at 11:59 PM. The drawing will occur on Sunday the 12th.

 

Sorry, I didn't post payment instructions. If you would like to donate, please send PayPal to [email protected] and include your BA name in the notes section so I can contact you. Thank you.

 

The Locals are so damn awesome! Keep it up guys. After having this post up for about a day we have already raised ~ $600 to help Adam and his family.
