arlo 0 #1 July 8, 2002 The July 4th weekend/boogie at Zhills was an incredible success!!! Over $3000 was raised to support breast cancer research!!!!! Check out WWW.SKYDIVECITY.COM for the pics of TK in a thong....and yes, those are real flames from the actual car that was smashed. Thanks to Marcus Price and the GearStore, PD, Skyventure (indoor windtunnel), Birdman, Alti-2, Relative Workshop, Debbie (necklaces), and Sunpath for their donations to the raffle. Thanks to Steve Mott for donating the car that was used to raise almost $600...a buck at a time (sledge hammer hits: $1, AvGas: $2/gal, picture of TK in a thong atop the car swinging a sledgehammer: priceless). Yes, there are pictures....and yes, there is video. Thanks to all the wonderful guys at zhills for participating in the bikini jump. That raised over $600 with the winning vote being "YES". These guys included Muff Brothers, CRW dogs, VRW, RW, and wingsuit flyers. I haven't laughed that hard in years. The guys thought outside the box by incorporating lingerie into their bikini plan. I have 4 rolls of pics and a video (some from a Tampa news station) as proof. My corneas have been scarred. "The normally shy and reserved Muff Brothers supported JFTC by wearing their lingerie in a dignified manner." -- Bill Bickner Seriously, these guys sucked it up, did their thing and were absolutely awesome. They almost completed the 10 way round. Not sure if you guys see the sheer awesomeness in this, but there were people on this dive that don't freefall (CRW)...like John Sekorski (sp?)..and flew his slot well! CRW dogs rock! All these guys were fucking awesome!!! Only thing that scared me was that they looked awefully comfortable wearing thongs and bustiers and sequined bras and garters. Some even wore their stuff home. Hmmmmmmm. For those that were there, thank you so much. I think it was a wonderful thing for everyone there to see that it only takes a small contribution from each person to create something so incredibly huge and life-changing. We CAN and DO make a difference. Kudos to everyone for their participation and sleep well knowing that you helped out people in the process. This is the money that funds research that may find the cure tomorrow. It may save me or you or your mother or your sister or daughter if breast cancer enters our lives. This weekend, I heard so many touching stories of, not only breast cancer, but other cancer survivors, deaths, treatments...you name it. The spectrum was covered. It just validated what I already know...people give a shit and really want to do what they can to help. Man, you guys rock!!!! If anyone is interested in doing a fund-raiser at your local dz (for whatever organization you choose), we have some good ideas that we can pass along that will not only raise money, but will give you an incredibly fun time in the process. :) thank you so much on behalf of the City of Hope, JFTC, and Skydive City.... arlo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JJohnson 0 #2 July 8, 2002 Sounds like it was quite the good time. I wish we would perfect this cloning thing so I could be in two places at the same time. JJJJ "Call me Darth Balls" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
arlo 0 #3 July 8, 2002 I can't even begin to tell you how much fun was had. After this weekend, I'm gonna try to get the people involved with JFTC fund-raising to video all their fund-raising events and make a compilation debauchery video. If should highlight the participants and give folks the credit they deserve for being part of such a good cause. :) I'm gonna try to do a nice write-up for both Skydiving and Parachutist w/pics, of course. Let's see how it goes. If you saw the pics I have, you'd run for your life and hide the children for sure. :) arlo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
