"Christmas Family in Need" Fund Raiser

[Mike Cork]

All the credit goes to Lee Smith  He brought the idea up in the Staff area and we've decided to take the ball and run with it.

Many of us are very fortunate to know that we'll have gifts under the tree for our kids and food on the table for the family. However there are many folks out there that are not so fortunate. Here at Ultimate Bass we have a very supportive membership group and when we have a family member in need, everyone steps up to help.

We are asking all Ultimate Bass members, family and friends to donate to a "Christmas Adopt a Family Fund" On December 21rst will will give the funds to a family in need.

Ultimate Bass has enough active members that if everyone could give just $10 the fund, we could make a needy family very happy for Christmas. To be honest I'm not sure what the criteria will be or how we'll pick the family yet, right now we'll take suggestions via PM. Lee and the Ultimate Bass Administration will decide the family to receive the funds. I will keep everyone posted and the family will be posted on Ultimate Bass. I will be promoting this everywhere I can and invite you to do the same.

You can mail donations to: (Check or Money Orders -- no cash please)
Ultimate Bass
C/O Adopt a Family
5422 Amber Circle
Benton LA 71006

Or

Pay Pal at please put "Adopt a Family" in the notes

In the past we have raised significant funds for site family members, we had a cause and knew the person and their problems personally. This year, by the grace of god we do not have anyone fighting for their life in a hospital bed. However that doesn't mean there aren't families out there that need some help.

Thank You everyone, I know that with your support we can make sure a needing family can enjoy Christmas of 2016

Got it I'm going to try and keep a list of donors. This will let you know Ultimate Bass got your donation. If you would rather not be on the list please tell me in PM, during your donation, or via email. You can call too.

If you donated and don't see your name, get with me as soon as possible so I can track it down and fix it.

Thanks everyone.
