Fundraiser for Teri Hand’s Son and His Family (December Update)
CSI Phoenix is continuing its fundraising effort through the December holiday party. Please bring all of your loose change to the party! We will gather it all and donate the funds to the Barry Lundquest Benefit Fund. Every dollar we collect will help Barry and Amy as Barry recuperates.
Teri’s son was injured in a motorcycle accident on September 24th. He has suffered serious brain injuries and faces a long recovery. His diagnosis at this time is really unknown. He has made some amazing progress but we know this is going to be a long rehabilitation.
Barry is married. He and his wife, Amy, have three children: daughters Harley (5 years old), London (4) and son Hunter (20 months). Barry is employed by the Army National Guard. Amy is still on active duty with the Guard. Many of you have followed Barry through his two tours in Iraq as a Marine. His co-workers donated 225 hours of vacation time to help the family but that has run out. Luckily, Barry is covered by Amy’s medical insurance. Since he is a civilian he will be able to stay in the Banner Hospital – Scottsdale facility which has a highly respected neurology department. Medical expenses are covered but Amy will have to support the family soon on one income.
In appreciation of Teri’s 15+ years of service to the Phoenix chapter (President, Treasurer and many other positions), the Southwest region (Regional Director, Treasurer and many other positions) and the Institute (Fellow as of Sep. 2011, Finance Committee and many other positions), the Phoenix chapter is holding a fundraiser to raise cash for the family. We can make a real difference simply by providing cash for groceries, gas and the daily necessities we too often take for granted.
Credit card donations can be made http://www.barrylundquest.bbnow.org/ This is a special PayPal account set up for the family. You can use any credit card at this site.
Cash or check donations can be at The Reference Library or at the CSI monthly meeting on December 8th. Checks should be made out to Teri Hand with a memo indicating the funds are for Barry Lundquest.
Checks made out to“Barry Lundquest Benefit Fund” can be mailed directly, if you prefer, to TruWest Credit Union, PO Box 3489, Scottsdale, AZ 85271-3489.
The fundraiser was kicked off at the chapter meeting on October 13th. To date the chapter has raised over $2100!
We can help a young family who is facing difficult days and possibly years. Every quarter, dime and nickel will make a difference!
Please share this information with other people who have been touched by Teri’s tireless efforts for CSI and by her constant smile. Tweet a link to the CSI Phoenix home page. Post the link on your Facebook page so other CSI members can see it. Include the information in chapter emails, web sites or newsletters.
