Benefit Fundraiser for Erick Kim - Canceled !

[Fish Stix]

Just wanted to let you all know this event has been canceled. If you sent in a donation your checks will be mailed back to you.

Hey guys, long time no see.

I'm sure we can all remember what happened last year on December 8, 2012. One of our mates, AJ Lee and his Cousin Erick Kim were blackfishing on the rock piles around Elberon, NJ. When a terrible boating accident occurred. Erick lost his life that day, fishing.

Erick was very involved with supporting his family. But, the problem is, his father has cancer and needs to support his family. So Aj is doing a fundraiser benefit to try and assist Erick's family with anything he can.

There will be music, drinks, food, etc. And hopefully a ton of supporting fisherman and fisherwoman!

We are accepting any type of donation for raffles/auctions. If you would like to donate, please respond here.

If you can make it to the event, that would be great. Please RSVP here. We are trying to figure out an estimated head count. And if there's anything you guys suggest, please let us know. Thanks so much.

Thanks for your support guys. I'm just waiting on Aj To see where donations get sent and who to make checks to. Thanks again!

Count me in as going, if for some reason I can't make it, I'll also send a donation.

Kris,

We've never met but like everyone else I'm very aware of the accident. Can't even imagine the impact something like that has on the individual's family and as a result of something which never should have happened. Would be happy to donate to the cause, please send a pm or post here where to send a check.

The Kim family will continue to be in my prayers.

I'd be happy to send a package of jigs and teasers for the raffles/auction if that will help. If I can attend I'll shoot down as well.

Not 100% sure I can make this one but sent a donation just in case I can't.

Kris - let me know if I can help in any other way.... I got some NJFishing.com shirts I can send your way if that helps. If so let me know.

[Fish Stix]

Gerry that would be great. Thanks!

As of now, the benefit is completely cancelled. Wasn't up to me or Aj. I did everything I could to keep it on, but no good.

I'm very sorry if it inconvenienced anyone. Thank you for your thoughts, donations and interest in supporting something for a good cause. Unfortunately it's just not going to happen.

All donations of any kind will be mailed back to sender. Again I'm very sorry for any inconveniences.

Capt Kris

PS. Spring is getting closer!

That sucks!

Let us know when we can help, sure it's that damn red tape!
