Benefit for Local Marine

Just wanted to put this info out there, in case anyone is interested in going. There will be a Beef & Beer benefit for Corpsman James Raffetto on September 25th, from 1-4 PM at the Berwyn Tavern in Berwyn, PA. Raffetto was seriously wounded in Afghanistan about a month ago, losing both legs and his left arm.

Raffetto went to the same high school as me, although a year or two ahead me. The benefit is $25 per person, and the people organizing the event are also asking for any extra donations you may be able to give. All the money will go to James and his family (I believe he married right before he was deployed).

I’ll be going, and just wanted to help get the word out about this as much as possible. There’s a facebook page for the event here: http://www.facebook….25600191&ref=mf

If anyone has any other questions, please let me know. I’d like to get as many people there as possible, but its understandable if people can’t make it or donate anything at this time.

A little more info that I found: http://www.blackfive…y-raffetto.html
