Dustin LaFortune Fund raiser Approved by Rage2

[Shlade]

Since the LaFortune family is going through such a rough time, I think it would be a great idea if we decided the help this family out and make a fundraiser for him to get him a super speedy recovery.

Terrible terrible thing happened to him, And Beyond being such a big community I beleive we could make a difference here.

What I need is everybodys help with this, I need suggestions as to who to call to get this more publicised, What we could do. Get the attention of the media also to try and get more attention from everybody

Maybe have a car wash go on this weekend? Show and shine or even a BBQ.

All suggestions are very welcome.

But please keep any negative feedback out of this thread. If your only willing to help post your suggestions in here and lets help this family out and especially Dustin.

Thanks Beyond

I'd contact the family first to make sure you can set something up properly.

[Shlade]

Will do, Ill search for them and give them a call tomorrow as its a little late now. See what they think and hopefully we can kick something off!

Oh shit yeah I did see that on the news. Very rarely do crimes on the TV affect me but that one just really bothered me. Everytime I saw his photos I had to turn away. ughh

If I am able to help (probably with volunteer time) I will be in.

Good on you!

Hmm I'm thinking bikini car wash ftw. But in all serious I'm down to lend a hand. Keep thread updated so we can figure out when/where.

[Shlade]

I will let all you guys know. As far as contacting the family, I will do my very best in contacting them tomorrow and getting in touch with them to have something set up soon!

^^ check CTV's website (where I saw the link anyways) as most time people set up a trust at a local bank. I know we did many moons ago and people can go to that bank and make a donation.

Might be better than donating to the family.




Or if you do talk to the family ask if there may be something better we could be doing. I.E. fixing a wives car, helping fix a busted fence at his house he cant do, etc. May not always need the money. If not the greenback (purpleback for us???) speaks louder than words.

good on you shlade.

[lilmira]

Brutal, sounds like a story from a horror movie.

Would like to help out as well.

[Shlade]

Thanks for those suggestions Cos! Those sound like great ideas also! Give me 2 days or so to fully figure this out and give everybody im thinking about giving a call and well go from there!


Keep the ideas coming their great so far! Lets try and get as many people aboard as possible

I wonder what the other side of the story is. As stated above we hear so much bad news these days that stuff rarely gets to me. This story made me sick, I will also stay tuned.

[Hakkola]

Other than curiosity I don't think the other side of the story means much, no one deserves this, that's fucked.

[spikerS]

If you decide to do a BBQ, let me know, I will gladly cook for the event and such.

ask around, my BBQ is awesome!

[CUG]

In for the BBQ if spikers is cooking. I asked around, would donate.

[theken]

I'd be in
