Benefit for Kristin

Rex Ruby · 06-27-2007, 05:28 PM

I'm asking for help from my fellow corvette owners.

One of my best friend's (and a corvette owner) son was involved in a hit and run motorcycle accident the Friday of Memorial Day weekend.
Eddie was traveling to dinner with his fiance on his motorcycle when an unidentified man collided with them and then fled the scene. To date the man has not been aprehended. Kristin sustained multiple life-threatening injuries and is still in intensive care a month later. Kristin has undergone over a dozen operations since and has dozens more to go. Eddie sustained severe cuts and bruises and has been released from the hospital.

Friends of Kristen and Eddie have organized a benefit to help defray the medical bills Kristin will face. This will take place at:
The Lagoon, 101 Taylor Ave. Essington, PA 19029
Saturday July 28, 2007
2 PM to 6 PM

Tickets are $30 per person or $55 per couple
Email for information: KristinMcCoachBenefitFund@Yahoo.com

Contributions can be made via PayPal to: KristinMcCoachBenefitFund@Yahoo.com
OR directly to:
Kristin McCoach Medical Fund
c/o Bank of America- Brookhaven Branch
5005 Edgemont Ave
Brookhaven, PA 19015

Here's a picture of Eddie and Kristin earlier this year:

If you can contribute please note Corvette Forum.
If you have any questions or concerns feel free to contact me.

If we get enough to show for the benefit I can get us our own area in the parking lot.

Thanks for your help. Rex.

Damn, my life was changed by an uninsured motorist 17 yrs ago - I'll see what I can do John!

What a sweet looking couple. What will take place at this benefit? Is it a bbq? A concert? Just a gathering?
