I cant believe I missed this thread.....Boy am I late for this Party!
I wish to share a few things.
This charity is beyond amazing. Pinball in a hospital, is not only a deviation from the troubles a child is facing, but am outstanding healing tool as well. Children dont play like we do, in general....many have never seen a pinball. For the most part, they dont compete for high scores. They collaborate, they laugh, they relate to other kids, when thats whos playing. With Parents, its a way to talk about things between games or balls, it levels the playfield, add Doctors and nurses, staff, and a child has such comfort, away from their bed. It becomes a destination, "I want to play pinball", a joy, when struggling,
a lasting impressionable healing tool.....Its amazing!
Second is Dan,
There are no grand words to describe the tireless, over full time work he has put in, and dedicated himself too. Having known him for years, I can best describe him as a Gentleman's, Gentleman.
The guy you want at a party, or you would drop what hes doing to be of help.
A rare person indeed, and the mountain of respect he gets in the Florida community is beyond deserved. He is loved by all, and the support of his wife and family, truly makes him a rare asset to not just the pinball community, but to kids everywhere he can touch.
My thanks for what you do, Dan, and I am so grateful to see the pinball community help this cause.
For myself, ticket bought, and our Black Friday Sale will have proceeds going to this great cause!

Thanks for letting me share, and Dan, thanks for all you have done and will continue to do!
1 million Karma Points!
