James Mohr Foundation Fundraiser a Huge Success

Posted on May 18, 2012 by FAV

The James Mohr Fundraiser took place on Saturday, May 12, 2012 and we are pleased to announce that it was a huge success. Friends , family members and supporters filled Strawberry’s Bar & Grill and were greeted by a smiling, upbeat James. Thanks to our very generous donors, guests had a buffet of prizes for which they were able to buy raffle tickets while snacking and sipping on the delicious food and beverages provided by Strawberry’s.

We proudly exceeded our expectations, and certainly couldn’t have done it without the many people and organizations who contributed to the event. Thanks to the money raised, James’ family can begin to pay down the mounting medical bills that his injuries have accrued. It is a tremendous weight lifted off of their shoulders.

To top off the afternoon, there was an unexpected appearance by Daryl Strawberry himself, who was gracious enough to sign autographs and pose for pictures with attendees. It was an exciting way to end the party.

Brutally Beaten New York Jets Fan Recovering Slowly: How You Can Help

~By K.C.Dermody-May, 06, 2012

Fortunately Mohr won the fight of his life but he’s been left with vision problems and residual effects of his brain injuries as well as a massive amount of bills.

Fans Against Violence, a group that is working to help to end violence at sporting events across the nation, reports that Mohr’s “multiple operations were not covered through his insurance company,” and between his endless doctors visits, co-payments, prescriptions and commute expenses to and from New Jersey, it’s a huge financial burden.

Not only has Mohr and his family been put through extreme emotional distress, but the bills are overwhelming. In order to help alleviate some of their stress, a fundraising event will take place in Bayside, New York next weekend at Strawberry’s Bar and Grill from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. on May 12, 2012. read full article..
