Thank you and we hope to see you at Beek's Bar & Grille on March 21st, 2020!!
P.S. You don't have to play in the tournament to bid on the items... simply show up, have a bite to eat, grab a drink and help us raise money for a great organization and for a great cause.
It never ceases to amaze me how much the community will help for a cause. As someone who's dealt with epilepsy for over 15 years, witnessing a grand mal seizure shows how traumatic and frightful it is. I was in traffic hit by someone who backed up into me while on the highway. He was having a seizure, likely felt it coming on and tried to get to the shoulder to put it in park. But a real 'awakening' for me came when I was downplaying seizures to my wife, she took a short video of me having one, I can only watch a few seconds. Sorry to digress but want to say it is great to see the recognition and support. I wish you the best for the tournament, charity, and most importantly your daughter.

Just to keep everyone up to date that wanted to attend the tournament, we have postponed it for obvious reasons. We are keeping an eye on the continuing developments of this virus and we'll schedule it once we feel it is safe for everyone that wants to attend. We will post anything new when we have it.
Quoted from Bax1:on a good note, it will be at the bar and I hear high proof alcohol kills the virus. so to my understanding, you will be good if you have a lot in you.
Clearly your advice is sound and and backed by science! I believe I will start the clinical trials today (while listening to Live from Flint) and report back my findings.
oh its backed by backwoods science alright 
glad you will be testing it out. sad thing is i was supposed to see them live in flint this Friday. at least i have been catching the youtube live shows to tide me over. Look forward to when we can all play again and do this tournament!!

Just a heads up, the slugfest that is going on the auction is up and running at the Monroe mall at the Ulekstore pinball and arcade for people to check out and play before the event. All proceeds during this time before the event will also be donated to the epilepsy foundation. If you want more information on the event head over to Beek's Facebook page or DM me with questions.
