News Update

I've been very busy organizing today, but I would like to kick this post off with a major announcement:

Dave is out of the hospital!

He's resting at home in Colorado Springs and will hopefully be back before the end of the semester. His medication is extremely expensive and he will need to take it for the rest of his life. So we're still doing everything we can.

I spoke to him this morning and he sounds well. He is very excited for the tournament and wants to deal at the final table. That would be a nice touch. I've been pounding the pavement today asking local businesses if they would like to contribute. I've made some good contacts and we received our first donation today. So please, if you're in the Sheridan area, patronize our wonderful donors and let them know you appreciate what they did for Dave. Several other businesses have said they will donate and as they do, I will posting them here.

I have a bank account set up for donations. To contribute, you can either go to any First Interstate branch and ask to contribute to the "Dave Marquith Fundraiser" account or it can be mailed to:
Dave Marquith Fundraiser

I will then mail you a receipt for your deposit. I also talked to The Sheridan Press today and they are going to do a story on the event itself and our fundraising efforts. Continue to keep Dave in your thoughts and prayers and I'll keep everyone up to date right here, same Bat time, same Bat channel.
