Bluhm Memorial Fund

[kpking3032]

I'll go $28 (for Granderson's #)

[DWPerkins]

Unless my math is wrong, that puts the amount over the $1000.00!

You all are awesome.

I can't contribute much, but I'll throw in $10.00 (more if I can scrounge it up).

[sevenstring]

$20 per tribute with a max of 3 tributes.

[kpking3032]

thing is, this thread is just getting underway....Like oblong said, give it the weekend and we may just buy the Tigers and make Brian the honorary President/CEO.

[wolverinefan]

As of now, without any private ones included, there is about $1,100. Amazing.

[detroitroach2]

Hello everyone, thought I would share this with you all. I will be going to the funeral for sure, and here is some info on a memorial fund for Brian.
AND COUNT ME AND MY FAMILY IN FOR MORE THAN $100, I can give you a total as soon as I talk to everyone.

[Boilerfan]

Put me down for $20. Paypal if possible.

[OldeEnglishD]

Put me down for $25.00.

My preference would be for a brick at Comerica, if feasible, and the rest, if any, going to the VT Civil Engineering Fellowship Fund but I'll defer to the consensus on the best use of these funds. Thanks to those who are organizing this.

[Oblong]

You people are amazing.

Total so far from this thread and PM's.... $1742.96

I will send a mass PM out sometime over the weekend with details on where to send this.

[Wockenfuss]

$100.

[bawheel]

I can PayPal over $10. Maybe more once I talk to some family & friends.

[apabruce]

$100

[kpking3032]

man, if there was a way to get this info into the Tigers clubhouse somehow we could so something amazing with the money...

[Yoda]

I think Brian would be absolutely blown away if he saw this.

[jessman1128]

This might be a stretch...but I wonder if the Tigers organization, or the Tigers players, would be willing to do match this board's donations with donations of their own? It's a lot of money to us, but I doubt the amount that we've raised so far is all that much to them.

Edit: This might be the same thing kpking3032 was referring to a few posts above mine, I'm not sure.

Thanks, Rick.

Maybe you can also mention that we'd still like to have a memorial brick for Brian at Comerica. I know they've suspended their buy-a-brick program but maybe they can make an exception.

[apabruce]

Oblong, when it's time to pony up, can you start a new thread or something? This thread is going to get very long.
