krazy8321 Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 donating most of the tickets to Big Brothers Big Sisters of Erie County I've done work with BBBS of AZ and Special Olympics of AZ, always good to hear about this kind of stuff. Thank you for your contribution.
lets_go_bills Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 That's noble and respectable. Only good can come from underprivileged kids getting a chance to see a live pro game.
JoeF Posted February 24, 2009 Author Posted February 24, 2009 That's noble and respectable. Only good can come from underprivileged kids getting a chance to see a live pro game. We have done it as a family for the last 3 or 4 seasons. The kids donate part of their chore money to it. They thought of it--I deserve no credit. Can't take it with you...might as well do some good--even during these very difficult times.

Go Bills.

All we seem to hear in Rochester is how 14 year olds are shooting people and getting arrested. Maybe there is hope for the future!

The Dean Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 Joe, that's a great thing to do. Share the suffering...it'll do the little bastards good!

JoeF Posted February 24, 2009 Author Posted February 24, 2009 Joe, that's a great thing to do. Share the suffering...it'll do the little bastards good! It worked for us--didn't it Dean? All those mostly dreadful years in the late 60's, mid-late 70's and early 80's built us into the cynical bastards we are today..... 50th anniversary of mostly pain and suffering with about a decade and a half of hope --- How's that for a theme...

Chandler#81 Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 It will certainly build their vocabulary... yeah, but their anger management skills may suffer.. Righteous, Joe!

JoeF Posted February 24, 2009 Author Posted February 24, 2009 I think that's contributing to the delinquency of a minor. Its the old Steve Martin line dib...."I help unwed mothers get their start."

Cookiemonster Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 Good job with BBBS So where are they gonna go to see pro-football? My thoughts exactly! Seriously though, class gesture.
Bleed Bills Blue Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 It's tough to win in life. Sooner these kids learn that the better.
