Welcome!

Welcome to the blog for the Beth and Tracy Fund. We are also on also on Facebook so please be sure to "Like" us so you can stay up-to-date with the latest information about the girls and our fundraising efforts.


So, what happened? 
August 28, 2010 was a great afternoon for a ride. I don't know exactly what happened but the end result was a collision with a car and our dear friends being seriously injured. Beth has a severe head injury and Tracy is now paralyzed, in addition to numerous broken bones, cuts, etc. Here is the only video footage on the accident we can find. Here is from the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review.

So, now what? 
Now we raise money!  They both have a long road ahead of them in their recoveries which unfortunately amounts to a lot of medical and living expenses.
Two fundraisers have been put together, with the first one being in October at 5801 on Ellsworth.

The second fundraiser is in November at the White Oak American Legion.

So, how can I help?
There are a bunch of ways!
  • Will you be a volunteer at either event?
  • Can you, or your employer, donate a basket or other item(s) for the Chinese Auctions?
  • Can you, or your employer, donate a big ticket item for us to use as a raffle?
  • Can you bake a cake / pie / cookies / something else awesome for the pasta dinner that we can sell for dessert?
  • Click the "Donate" button on the right side of this page? (you don't have to have a PayPal account to be able to donate - just select use credit card)
Thank you very, very much!
