When I contacted The Fours about helping us sponsor a Jimmy Fund event, I knew I would find my fair share of generous sports fans ready to help out a great cause.
What I didn't expect was the pirate.
We kicked off the event at 5:30 on Friday and donations big and small began trickling in right away. But when the bar got crowded, it became difficult to showcase our tiny table with the Jimmy Fund jar on it. Then... around 9 o'clock... a surprise guest arrived and made an immediate impact on the crowd and the event.
It was Captain Morgan.
As soon as the good Captain learned of our dilemma, he grabbed our donation jar and began threatening every beer-drinking, hamburger-eating patron in the joint to donate to a good cause or walk the plank!
Okay... he asked nicely, but the story's much better when the pirate isn't so polite.
Anyway. When the night was over, and the Captain and I had made a few loops through the bar, we were able to call-in a much larger donation than I ever would have raised on my own.
Thanks to The Fours, Captain Morgan (Joe Z) and the good people on the South Shore, The Bottom Line raised $500.00 dollars that night!
The NESN/WEEI Telethon also did very well, raising $4,550,786.
Thanks again to everyone that donated and came out to hang with us at The Fours!
