Help Shorty Wilkins

If you have ever been to a meeting or function at the North Texas Fairgrounds, chances are that long before you got there, Jesse (Shorty) was hard at work making sure everything was prepared for you.  After such events, chances are Shorty cleaned up after you.
 
Shorty’s loves are this Fairgrounds and his church.  Shorty has donated thousands of hours to make sure everything is good and ready to go.
 
Now he needs our help!  Shorty is in need of colon surgery.  Without the surgery, he is in danger of infection and terrible consequences.  With it, he is expected to be fine and, in the words of his Doctor, “Never have to see me again”.  Shorty does not have insurance and needs $14,000 to pay for his surgery and medical expenses.  Any amount raised, in excess, will be used to assist in his living expenses while recovering.
 
WE ARE PLANNING A 2-PHASE FUNDRAISER
Phase I is simply asking for donations.
We have set up a fund at Northstar Bank to manage the donations. 
                Donations can be made to:  North Texas Fair Association 
                                                                 F.B.O. Jesse Wilkins Medical Fund
                                                                 P.O. Box 1695
                                                                 Denton, TX   76202
               Credit Card payments can be made by contacting Nanci at the Fair Office –
                (940) 387-2632
 
 
Phase II will be a June 9th  Auction/Garage Sale managed by the Open Range Cowboy Church.
We are asking for Individual and/or Businesses that want to donate items for the Live and Silent Auction to please contact the Fair Office at 940-387-2632, so we can categorize and list those items.  Items for the Garage Sale will be accepted beginning Friday – June 8th.
 
The North Texas Fair and the Open Range Cowboy Church will determine which items will be sold as Garage Sale, Silent, and Live.  Decisions will be based on perceived value of item.  All sales will be final.
 
This is a great opportunity for this community to give back to someone who has given so much to thousands of people.   PLEASE HELP US HELP “SHORTY”!!
