On Behalf of the LDCMF.....
Thank You Sascha: Visit our Always Remembering Leon's FB Page Here..... On behalf of LDCMF we would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone that has been involved in our events, organizations, &interest in remembering Leon Carr over the past 5 years. We originally began our fundraising in the summer of 2008 w/ the 1st Leons Day including the Annual Leon Carr Classic disc golf tournament because of Leon's love of the sport. We aimed these fundraising efforts for the 1st Leons Day primarily at acquiring a Head Stone for Leon due to his accident&unexpected passing. We continued on w/ organizing events that grew to include our Annual Redbone Winter Classic soup fest which is a friendly competition that pays tribute to Leon's superior soup making skills he displayed for years while working at the Village Inn. |
9:00am Disc Golf start on Sunday....
I just wanted to drop a quick note about the 5th Annual Leon Carr Disc Golf Classic this Sunday. Please be there by 8:45 am for registration. We will be starting at 9am. After much thought and positive feedback, we have changed up the tournament a bit. We will have two divisions...Advanced and Intermediate. If you average a score of -3 or better (par 3 course) from the whites, we are asking that you shoot from the blue tee's. Not only will this make it more competitive for the Advanced players, it will give everyone a chance to place. Please sign up accordingly on Sunday. There will still only be one prize pool. A full list of rules are attached to this post, please read them. We also have custom made Discs for sale with a picture of Leon 'throwing', They are $20 each and will be available day of. I am looking forward to seeing you all on Sunday, it's gonna be awesome..... This Year's Disc Art |
Thank You All for an Outstanding Evening!
The '3rd Annual' Redbone Winter Classic and Soup Social was held this evening at the Moose Lodge on Grand Island. We had an outstanding turn-out. 21 soups were entered into the competition. This years winner is no stranger to the Winter Classic. Sean Paonessa, who also won in 2010, took the trophy with a brilliant Steak and Roasted Garlic Soup. Unfortunately, I did not have the honor to try his soup. By the time I made my way over to the soups, Sean's was gone. This came as no surprise...everyone was raving about it. The money raised tonight will go towards the Leon D. Carr Memorial Scholarship at Erie County Community College. Thanks again, and please check back as I will be posting pictures of the event soon. - Dan |

LDCMF and The Miracle League team up for this year's event....
Greetings All, It's almost that time of year again.....on July 3rd, the LDCMF is hosting our "4th Annual" Leon D Carr Memorial Fundraiser at Beaver Island. (Please note that our event will be held near the Marina this year.) The last few years have been very successful and we are looking forward to another awesome event! This year, the LDCMF is teaming up with The Miracle League of Grand Island & WNY. If any of you have driven by Veterans Park on Grand Island lately, you may have noticed there is a brand new Baseball Diamond being built. The Miracle League gives Special Needs Children and Young Adults the chance to play organized Baseball. When we learned of this, we wanted to do everything possible to make it a success. All proceeds this year will benefit The Miracle League of Grand Island & WNY. Tony Fuccillo has donated a 2011 Chevy Aveo 5 to the ML. Tickets can be purchased at this year's event for $10. The drawing will be held on September 1st. You can find more info for the Miracle League at: www.miracleleaguewny.com : Please join us on July 3rd and enjoy a day of Music/Drinks/Food and Fun. There will be 3 local bands including Leon and the Forklifts, Resident Alien, and Sleepless City. The Legendary "Rock" will be spinning music in-between acts. Kids are always welcome and we will hold activities for them throughout the day. Along with the Fundraiser, we are hosting our "4th Annual" Redbone Disc Golf Classic. You can sign up : HERE : We appreciate all the Love and Support you all have shown over the years as well as all the donations that we have received. Without them, we would have not been able to give back to our Community. Below is a list of Organizations we have donated to in the past:
We are looking forward to adding The Miracle League of Grand Island to the list. We are also looking forward to seeing you on July 3rd to celebrate the Life of Leon David Carr. May his Memory Be Eternal. Dan |
