My brother Jimmy Kilgore was hit by a car on December 18th on Forest Hills Road. He has two broken legs, severe head trauma, pins in his legs and arms, and eight other broken bones. He is a very caring person who has given to others his entire life, has a wonderful personality and would do anything for anyone. DnA Promotions of Loves Park has set up a benefit concert for Jimmy at Rocky’s Bar in Loves Park on May 30th, 2009. Several local bands will be there, such as Wykkyd Vykkyr, to donate their talent for Jimmy’s cause.
Any business or person wanting to donate an item for the raffle should call Deb of DnA Promotions at 815-997-4319 or Scott Kilgore at 815-708-6275. All contributors to this very worthy cause will be heavily endorsed at the benefit, and in print ads before and after the benefit, to say thanks for such generosity.
Food will be served, and there will be tons of raffles and door prizes. Over 40 local businesses are already on board, such as Bobby’s on Broadway, who has generously donated a guitar for the raffle! I have recieved tons of tattoo and piercings work to raffle off from Dreamline Tattoos, Euro-Tattoo and Cellar Dweller Tattoos. These are just a few of the many caring businesses that have reached out and stepped up with raffle items for this very noble cause, and I cant put into words what it means to Jimmy and my entire family.
A donation fund has been set up at any U.S. Bank. A donation of any amount at all will help so much for Jimmy’s current medical bills, the rent he is not paying right now, and the tons of rehabilitation costs he is going to incur.
Please make a donation to the "Jimmy Kilgore Donation of Rockford Illinois” at any US Bank. I know times are hard for everyone right now... even a dollar will be appreciated!
Be sure to come by Rocky's in Loves Park on May 30th. It starts at one in the afternoon and ends at two in the morning...there will be TONS of great prizes! I truly hope to see you there...
Thank you!
Scott
