[QUOTE="VLong, post: 87642, member: 3458"] Thank you all for all of the ideas! I am thinking of a Trivia Night with a silent auction and raffle. or A Chili Cook Off, or a spaghetti dinner and/or dance, pancake breakfast... As you can tell, my mind is full of ideas. I am leaning towards the trivia night since, by the time we get it organized, it will be winter and my chili cookoff would be kinda chilly [img]:smile:[/img] I spoke with Travis' mom, Michelle, for the first time since the accident last weekend. She told me that her ex husband is keeping all the money that was donated at the funeral and she doesn't even have enough money to buy a headstone. I guess most of the money was given in Travis' name and since he lived with his dad for the last 6 months he feels entitled to keep all of it, to use for who knows what. But, that is between them. My benefit is going to be for Michelle in memory of Travis. The family really doesn't have much. Living paycheck to paycheck, 3 other boys to raise and I just keep putting myself in her shoes. She asked me to please put the money in her name or mine, but I am leaning towards a trust fund of some sort that only she has access to. For her, and for Travis, I don't care if I only raise $50. I just HAVE to do this. My angel at the radio station has given me names of general managers of other radio stations to call in the area and told me to tell them that she and I have spoken and she wanted me to call them. I just have to spend some time getting in touch with everyone I want involved and go from there. I am going to my mom's 50th high school reunion, leaving tomorrow morning at 5am, this weekend in Texas with Alex, Justin and Ashley (the mommy-to-be on Jan 1!) and plan on really enjoying myself and relaxing and then coming home to get to planning all of this. I so need the 4 days away right now. Thanks again and I will let you know how things are going and if I need more help and advise, I do know all of you are out there!! Vicki [/QUOTE]
