May 09 Guitar RaffleOne of a kind raffle This year we are thrilled to have a fundraising opportunity that benefits not only the Booster Club, but also the 1st Touch Foundation/Project 3000. The Club will be selling raffle tickets for a one-of-a kind custom painted “Cubs” guitar. Mr. Ray Turski of Kissimmee, Florida has donated a hand painted Dean Evo series electric guitar to the Daytona Cubs Booster Club. The guitar depicts the Cubs logo along with several baseballs and a Louisville slugger bat! And that’s not all. The guitar is signed by none other than Chicago Cubs All-Star first baseman, Derrek Lee! There will be only 1000 raffle tickets sold at $5.00 each. Proceeds from the sales of tickets will be split equally between the Daytona Cubs Booster Club and the 1st Touch Foundation/Project 3000. The drawing will be held on August 4, 2007 at the conclusion of the silent auction being held to benefit the 1st Touch Foundation/Project 3000. Chicago Cubs star Derrek Lee and Boston Celtics CEO and co-owner Wyc Grousbeck have decided to combine their talents to eradicate a disease that has touched both of their families, Lebers Congenital Amaurosis or LCA. They call their effort "Project 3000" because a central part of their plan is to find every man, woman and child affected with LCA in the United States - about 3000 people. LCA is an inherited form of blindness that is usually apparent shortly after birth. In most cases, affected children are otherwise completely healthy but a subset of children do have other problems such as learning disabilities, autism, seizures, or kidney disease. For more information about LCA and the 1st Touch Foundation/Project 3000, please visit their website at http://1sttouch.org/. May 12 auction items
