Box,

Please forgive me for posting this on your forum, but I know that this forum receives a lot of views daily. I wrote the following to Dave Sikorski on the Boys and Girls forum:

Dave,

In light of what has happened to Tred I was wondering if there were a way to send you monetary gifts in Tred's honor. If every member would send you a minimum donation of $5, then we could raise a lot of money for the kids. It would be a great way for the sportfishing community to show support for what he has accomplished with the Boys and Girls Club. I know that not everyone agrees with Tred, but everyone can agree that the Boys and Girls Club is a wonderful organization. I don't have a paypal account, but I would be more than happy to mail the first donation of $5 to you.

Thanks,
JimmyC

Here was his response:

Sounds great Jimmy!!

Tred truly believes in the Boys and Girls Clubs and their importance in shaping our future generations.

All of us at the Barta Boys and Girls Club Billfish Tournament are praying for Tred, and your gesture is greatly appreciated.

Please note on your paypal payment and/or check/MO that it is a straight donation in Tred's honor.

All payments should be made by Check or MO to the Boys and Girls Club of Coastal Carolina.

Mail to:
Barta Boys and Girls Club Billfish Tournament
109 Swindell Ln
Atlantic Beach, NC 28512


Paypal is also accepted, the address is: director@bartabillfish.com
Heck, if you stuff an envelope full of pennies, WE'LL TAKE IT!!

Thank you for your suggestion and donation.

Guys let's raise a lot of money for this great cause.
