BEER A DAY FOR JAY


Hi Guys, as most of you know I love doing charity work.  A close long time friend is working on the "Beer a Day for Jay" Campaign to bring some cheer to the troops overseas.  Our High School friend Jay is over serving our country and recently became a new dad!!  Coors Light has partnered with them to make the program a huge success.  Please see the letter below from Shaun and check out some of the videos.  If you would like to help out please contact Shaun Fishburn, his email address is listed below.  Anything that reminds the troops of home would be a great surprise for them!

Friends of BeerADayForJay Campaign,
 
This is to keep everyone posted on the campaign news, for all those who have helped out and are interested.  You may be following the YouTube channel and may be aware of this already, but in case some of us were busy and haven't had the time to keep up.  Jackie gave birth to beautiful baby girl, Isabel Grace, on October 12.  Lance Cpl. Jason Hill was unable to make it home, but was able to view the birth via webcam from his base in Iraq.  The baby has appeared on the channel numerous days since being born, so there is ample opportunity to get a glance of her.  She is absolutely beautiful.  We had a wonderful surprise on Day 73 where Grant Barrett, Director of Marketing for Origlio Beverages, presented Jackie a check for $1000 towards Isabel's college fund.  The BeerADayForJay Campaign would like to thank Grant, Coors Light, Origlio Beverages, and all the employees of the associated companies.  Johnny put together a great segment to honor the special occasion, and it is all incorporated in the "Day 73" video.  The link is: http://www.youtube.com/beeradayforjay.
 
The success of this cause is greatly appreciated to all the special guests that have appeared.  The list is already overwhelming, and we hope to keep it growing.  Special thanks to Mike Missanelli (Day 12), Good Day Philadelphia (Day 32), Vince Papale (Day 40), Governor Rendell (Day 51), Phil Martelli (Day 55), Fran Dunphy (Day 58), Bensalem Mayor Joseph DiGirolamo (Day 60), Chief of Police Fred Harran (Day 60), “America’s Sweetheart” – Shana DeRosa (Day 70) ,  Grant Barrett with Coors Light (Day 73) and CBS 3.
 
Thank you all and Let's Go Phillies!
