Help Mend A Heart Auction

gaby — Fri, 18 Dec 2009 19:59:20 +0000

Friends Or Enemies are auctioning off a handful of items to help Jordan Pundik’s (New Found Glory) mother. 100% of the proceeds go to help out Jordan and his family.

Jordan’s mom fell ill a couple weeks ago and we’re trying to raise money to help with medical bills. They’re auctioning off – art prints from Butcher (The Academy Is…), a Pete Wentz Bass, an Andy Hurly Snare drum, and other things from The Cab.

They’re also auctioning off a Patrick Stump guitar. Patrick will be matching the final bid and donating that amount of money to the cause, which is super sweet & cool. You can read more about the situation at helpmendaheart.com and take a look at our ebay auction and start bidding here.

Thank you for your generosity

TICKETS THIS SATURDAY!

Hey there Chicago!

I will be at the Metro in Wrigleyville this Saturday from Noon until 2 PM selling tickets to the Almost Here Anniversary Show!! Bill has to run over to Angels and Kings to film Racoon Society for Fuse live at Noon but he is gonna stop by on his way over to say hi around 11:30am!

The Metro is located at 3730 N. Clark Street (that’s two blocks North from Wrigley Field) and we would love to see you there!

This time of year, I am constantly reminded how lucky I am to have amazing loved ones to make the holidays so special and enjoyable.

However, I know there are many people out there in this great city, without the comfort of food on their table, or a roof over their head.

Which is why I ask for YOUR help. If you are planning on coming this weekend, please feel free to bring some canned food which will be donated to the THE GREATER CHICAGO FOOD DEPOSITORY!!! – chicagosfoodbank.org. I promise a HUGE hug to anyone who helps me out with this!

Either way, William and I look forward to seeing you there!!
