The Span family of California, whose 7 month-old-son, Zachary, has SMA Type 1, have created a truly unique and exciting fundraiser — and it sounds fantastic! Here is what Dave says about it:
I am a professional skydiver and my wife skydives as well (though just for fun). We will be holding a Raffle and Silent Auction on Saturday, Nov. 28th at Perris Valley Skydiving in Perris, California. The dropzone has graciously donated a tandem and through my contacts in the industry, we have accumulated a substantial list of prizes. The total value of these prizes is in excess of $6500!
We will also be having a Bake Sale that day, Dinner that night at Bombshelter Restaurant (on the DZ), and Bingo and Texas Hold-Em Tournament that night as well. Should be a good time. You don’t have to be a jumper to enjoy the evening, so we would love to see anyone that wants to come out. People will want to come out during the day as well as there will be jumping all day (weather permitting) and it is the DZ annual 4-way team building weekend.What: Fundraiser for SMA Research
When: Saturday, Nov. 28th
Where: Perris Valley Skydiving in Perris, CA
Event activities – Silent Auction, Chinese Raffle, Bingo, Texas Hold-Em, and Dinner!
