Is anyone interested in helping organize and participate in some sort of jeep related fund raiser? Corey has a friend who just foud out that her son (2-3 years old) has a mass (cancer) on his liver. It's gonna be a long and expensive journey for them, and I thought it'd be good for us to get involved, and help them out. Corey lost her brother to bone cancer, so this hits close to home with her, and was excited when I told her that I would see if there was any interest. 100% of the proceeds will go to the Elam family, and this little boy, Cole.

Not only will it provide some assistance to the Elam family, it would shine a very positive light on the GTJC.

I'm in. Anyone have some big smoker grills? We could park somewhere and spend the day cooking/selling boston butts or something.

I think I has access to a competition cooker and maybe even someone to run it. Does anyone have a meat connection.

When I saw the title I thought how shameless of Dewey to try a fund raiser for his jeep habit. Lol.
Its great to see people step up and help others just because its the right thing to do. I applaud you Dewey as well as everyone wanting to help. I'm in.

Hey folks!!!!! My wife and I are selling "Prayers for Cole" arm bands to raise money to help with his treatment cost. They are $5 each and 100% of the money goes to the Cole Elamn medical fund!!!!! If you would like one (OR MORE) let me know here or call/text my cell 662-617-3469. Also if you would like to make an anonymous donation you can go to any Renasant bank and make a donation to the "Cole Elam medical fund" If you would like to follow his progress we have a Facebook page for him. www.facebook.com/prayersforcoleIt may seem like we have a late start on the arm bands but this is actually our second order of them. The first order (400 bands) were all sold before we could even get them in!!! The outpouring of support for Cole, MaryEsther and Kyle has been OUTSTANDING!! His treatments are going very well and he is responding positively to them!!! Any help y'all can give will be appreciated..........if nothing else please say some prayers for Cole and his family.
