Hi friends,

I'm a fundraiser. I ask people for money every day.

I also like beer. I don't drink beer everyday, but occasionally. I'm sure most of you do as well. Or double vodka and sodas. Today, I'm asking you to think about spending some of your beer money on something other than beer this week.

Like, on sobriety.

You see, over 37 years ago, my grandfather, John J. Duffy, Esq. got sober. His life was a mess and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, the IRS and the Pennsylvania Bar Association all said, pretty much on the same day, John, get help. Or else. Plus, I think my grandmother, God love her, had something to say as well.

Since that cold February morning all those years ago, my Grandfather has helped literally thousands of people find clarity and quit the booze and the drugs and the high life. Including 4 of my uncles, 2 of my cousins and one of my aunts. He's a criminal defense attorney by day, so he also helps a lot of other people get out of trouble with the law. Including all 5 of my uncles, both my one Aunt and my mom, 4 cousins and my sister (that red light was SOOOOO green!).

The place he cleaned up at, the Caron Treatment Center, has a big gala every year in Philadelphia where they honor some lucky bastard with the Dick Caron Award of Excellence. My grandfather will be receiving the award this year. I forgot to mention, he was also the chairman of the board of directors at Caron for a number of years in the 90s. You all know how these things work. The person getting the award is usually a big shot with access to a lot of rich people. My grandfather ain't that guy. His only friends are drunks and criminals. Which is nice, because that's pretty much what his family is too.

So. One of my sober uncles (Casey) and I have teamed up to raise a few bucks thru Casey's charity for the dinner. The idea is to raise $30,000 to fully fund one scholarship for a drunk to clean up at Caron (can you believe it costs 30k to sober up???).

Can you spare a dime? Or the cash equivalent of a 6 pack of your favorite micro-brew? Anything would be great. It will help someone get sober, and likely keep you sober for one night. Or 30 minutes. Whatever you want.

If you want to make a contribution and support me, my uncle, my family and my grandfather (to say nothing of the thousands of drunks he's helped) you may do so here: http://sobersamaritan.com/Sober_Samaritan_-_Donate_No.html

It ain't a fancy ass political website, so please be patient with Pay Pal.

Thanks friends. My grandfather is a huge part of my life, and it would be great if I could help him feel special for one very cool, very sober night.

Josh
