It’s been a busy few weeks for Kevin with baseball on August 10th and 24th(with Chris Kelly driving), dinner at Firebirds on the 8th with Joe Senior, Kathy Perkins, and nurses Chris L. and James, lunch at Duffers on August 1st with Joe Senior, Christina, the nurse, and Kevin’s Tball coach and buddy Bill Burland, a picnic in South Jersey hosted by one of Kevin’s Magee nurses where Kevin caught up with several of the nurses and staff who took such great care of him at Magee. He went to the picnic with Joe Senior and Jenn, his nurse for the evening. Kevin got to stay at the picnic for well over four hours and really enjoyed seeing Reem, the evening nurse who took such good care of him at Magee, Nia the host of the party and the other evening nurse from Magee, as well as Rey who works part time with Bayada on Kevin’s case.
Next up for Kevin are Phillies games on September 14th (four tickets) and September 28th (8 tickets). If you are interested in going to either game let Joe Senior know and we can make arrangements. The new van is large but fairly easy to drive and Kevin is always accompanied by a nurse on all outings.
Of course the big event coming up is the Second Annual Friends of Kevin Neary (FOKN) on September 15th at Wyncote Golf Course. The course itself is beautiful, the raffles and auction items are fantastic, and the cause is a terrific young mans’ continued care and 32nd birthday on September 22nd . Sign ups close on September 1st so if you are interested in attending or supporting  please sign up this weekend at:
Thanks always for your continued support, it truly makes a difference for Kevin’s continued progress and he appreciates everyone’s care and concern.

Two weeks until our September 1 cut-off for sales, and 70 golf tournament tickets are sold!

 We want to remind everyone interested to buy golf and lunch tickets, at:

 https://www.eventbrite.com/e/fokn-golfin-again-tickets-10587243731

We’d hate to have to say no to anyone who wants to attend.  Please understand that we have to make final plans for golf and for lunch on September 1st ! If you’re not a golfer, consider joining us for lunch and the auction at around one o’clock on September 15. Lunch tickets, which must be purchased online by September 1st ,  are $30.

A beautiful day of golf isn’t the only thing in store on the 15th.  We have some amazing auction items.  Our live auction items will include:

  •  Four club seats to see the Philadelphia Eagles play the St Louis Rams at the Linc on Sunday, October 3 at 1 p.m, a parking pass, and an autographed Fletcher Cox (#91) jersey.
  •  Two fantastic (Section 242, row 2, seats 17 and 18) tickets to see the return of DeSean Jackson as the Washington Redskins play the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday, September 21 at 1 p.m.…..the Eagles’ first NFC East game of the year!
  • Four tickets, and a parking pass, to the Army Navy game on Sunday, December 13 at 3 p.m.at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore, Maryland.
  •  Two weekly badges to the Farmers Insurance Open, February 5 – 8, 2015 in La Jolla, California and a three night stay at the Marriott Marquis San Diego Marina.  
    • (Does anyone have any airline miles they would like to donate?   If we could get enough miles to sponsor a Philly-San Diego roundtrip, it would make this great trip even better.   Keep in mind that the trust is not a 501(c)(3) charitable foundation—a gift to the trust is NOT tax deductible.)
  •  Two tickets to a 2014/15 (40th!) season Saturday Night Live show in New York city.
  •  Two clubhouse passes to the Quicken Loans National tournament at Robert Trent Jones Golf Club, July 27 – August 2, 2015 in Gainesville, Virginia.

Our silent auction items are equally great.  We’ll post a full program PDF, listing all of the auction items, just prior to the event.

See you all in a few weeks!

Don’t Miss the Cut!

The second annual FOKN Golfin’ Tournament is only six weeks away, on September 15th, and interest is picking up quickly.

Our program emcee, The Fanatic’s Brian Startare, plans to talk about the tournament today on his afternoon radio show, which runs from noon to four.

http://www.975thefanatic.com/

We are so grateful for Brian’s support for this event, and his support for Kevin.

We have 45 golfers registered as of August 1st and commitments from approximately 50- 60 more folks who are interested in joining Kevin’s supporters for a day of fun, friendship, golf on a beautiful course, and getting to spend time with the guest of honor, Kevin.

We hope that you will join us but ask that you register as soon as possible to avoid getting closed out from the event as we can accommodate about 108 golfers.

Registration closes on September 1st; we hope that we will have sold out before that date.

Don’t miss a great event, register now, right here:
