SEND-A-KID To Camp (MDA)

Rob Kern’s First Annual MDA Tournament Exceeds Expectations!

When speaking with Rob Kern as to how he decided to run a fund raising shuffleboard tournament for MDA ‘send a kid to camp’, he stated, “This (shuffleboard tournaments) is what I do”.  Rob decided that rather than the usual “arrested for a day” MDA participation, he felt he could do more and invite fellow shuffleboard patrons to this AB / ABC (dependent upon how many signed up) draw tournament and with 32 players, the decision was to have an AB Draw.

Rob Kern is a member of PLNG (Michigan Pioneers-Legends and the New Generation), an organization founded by Betty Parrish of Waterford, Michigan designed to promote recognition of players and promoters of shuffleboard; as well as giving back to the community.

Rob’s goal, teamed up with CoCo and Cindy Brown, was to raise enough money to send one kid to camp, which costs $600.  Sponsor sheets were available for those wishing to help solicit contributions.  Registration fee was $10, with all registration money going to MDA.  Those with contributions $10 or more did not have to pay registration fees.  Fifty / Fifty drawings were held, as well as many wonderful door prize tickets for prizes donated; including a new five CD disc changer/player donated by Betty Parrish.

Thanks to the wonderful donations and participation from the 32 players signed up, Rob’s goal was exceeded by more than 200% bringing in a grand total of $1,449.  Special thanks to the top three    solicitors / sponsors.  Wayne Atkinson, Melinda Flynn, and host Jason Papa were all responsible for contributions each in excess of $200.
