Default I need your help by Keith Craft

I want to thank the Club Cobra members for their support over the years. I have come to you to ask your help for a good friend of mine that has lost his 16 year old son.
Let me start by saying that this was a special young man that always tried to help others. This is exactly what he was doing when he was killed in a freak accident at home. Kameron had always put others first and shared everything he had. His father Kevin has donated much to the community and school system to make things better for his children. Kameron was always sharing his things with the less fortunate kids.
The day of the accident Kameron was helping a new student who was having a hard time fitting in. He had taken him to lunch that day and showed him around school. He had him out to his house that afternoon before they were to play that night in a basketball game for some fun. This young man had never been around some of the things that Kameron had and he wanted to drive the Rhino that they had. Kameron and his sister knew that they were not suppose to do this with the parents gone. The young man begging to drive and Kameron gave in to try and be nice. Somehow the young man turned the Rhino over on Kameron causing a severe head injury that Kameron died from 3 days later.
Kevin and Kameron did everything together from hunting, fishing, baseball to basketball. Kevin had built a basketball gymn and baseball field at his house for Kameron and all of the local kids to play and practice. Kameron was an All-State basketball and baseball player and had a great future ahead of him.
I have children and having this happen to a good friend has been very hard on me and I can only imagine how hard is it is on the family. Kevin has started a foundation in the memory of his son call Kamo's Kids. Kamo was Kameron's nickname because of how much he liked to hunt.
I want to do something for my friend and in his son's memory. I have ask Brent's permission to have a raffle for a set of my Edelbrock Stage 2 heads done complete with the head gaskets, intake gaskets and ARP head bolts. This is where all the members come in and where I am asking for your help. I need to sell 100 raffle tickets at 25.00 each to raise the money I would like to donate. I will donate 100 percent of the proceeds to the Kamo Kids foundation and present it to the family from the Club Cobra members and my company.
I will ask Brent about having him do the drawing for me. I will supply him with the names on the raffle tickets purchased. What I would have you do is just send a check for 25.00 to Keith Craft Inc. and we will send you a copy of your entry. If you want to do more than one that would be great. If I can do 100 sales at 25.00 I will stop at that to keep the odds pretty low. Again all of the proceeds will go to the foundation. I just feel that I need to do something for one of my best friends in the memory of his son. They are a great family and this is one of the few ways that I can help. Thanks for reading and feel free to call me if you have any questions.

Thanks, Keith Craft
