On Sunday August 24, 2008, a fundraiser was held for Eric and his family at the Fireside Bar and Grille in Ambler, Pa to help alleviate the costs from this transplant that Eric's insurance will not cover. This fundraiser was put together within only two weeks time and couldn't have been better. There are so many people we would like to thank that made that day possible because without them it would have never happened.

Joe McGough - Joe worked with Eric's brother Scott in the planning of the fundraiser. He was responsible for the acquisition of the Fireside as well as the tickets, many of the prizes and much more. We couldn't have done this without him!

Fireside Bar And Grille Ambler, Pa - We would like to thank Vince as well as every single person from the Fireside that was there that day. You are all great people and everyone that attended the fundraiser could not say enough good things about all of you. Vince was also responsible for many of the great prizes that were provided for use in the raffles and was a tremendous help throughout the planning of the fundraiser.

Freedom Entertainment Souderton, Pa - Eric's brother Scott works as a DJ for Harry and Darlene Horning, the owners of Freedom Entertainment. We would like to thank Harry and Darlene for allowing Scott to provide the entertainment for the fundraiser with both music and karaoke.

It is people like you that help us get through everything that has happened as well as what the future holds for Eric.
