BIG THANKS TO NICK SARCINELLO AND HIS GRANDPARENTS BOB AND LYNN TOMLINSON
October 1, 2008
The Michael Abt Jr. Have A Heart Foundation would like to thank Nick Sarcinello and his maternal grandparents, Bob & Lynn Tomlinson for the very generous donation of Nicks' First Dirtbike. He seems to have outgrown it at 6' tall. The donation included a 2004 Suzuki DR-Z125 dirtbike (which Nick kept in excellent condition) and Nick's really cool outfit that included all the safety gear including professional riding boots, pants, shirt, gloves, chest protector, and helmet. Such a generous donation ended up being sold for $1500 and the proceeds are enough to equip another school with a life-saving AED. Thanks Nick, Bob and Lynn! You may have saved someone's life today, in memory of Michael Abt Jr, who loved riding with Nick and just being kids together. We invite Nick to visit and meet the new owner of the bike. Highest bidder, Michael's little brother, Melvin Abt, now age 11. He says you can still ride it anytime, if you can fit on it. We love you. The Abt Family.
Starting 2009: Fundraising Through GoodShop.com and GoodSearch.com
As described on our Donation page, 900 of the top Internet retailers and travel sites have joined forces with Goodshop.com to donate a percentage of every purchase to your favorite charity or school. It takes just a few seconds to go to www.goodshop.com, select your charity, and then click through to your favorite store to shop as usual.
