So, Guys!
The regularly scheduled Abernathy rant has me doing some thinking. The rich kids like me who don't need half of what they've picked up along the way need to give some of it back so other people get the shots I've had in life, and to do what they love.
Whether that's Olympic status, high school state champion or community little league, if somebody wants to play a sport, the guys like me owe it to the little guy to do our part to even the financial playing field a little, so....
... I've got the money to give schools, student teams and local Y's and charities the funds they need to make their sports programs awesome, and to set up scholarships up the ass if there are kids somewhere who want and need them. I want to make this a permanent thing, some kind of a foundation if you're following me. I've got all the finances waiting.
What I don't have are the faces. This is all really preliminary and I still have to find the people who can get me set up with the stuff I need to DO to get it established, but you two have DEFINED the young hopefuls, the average kids with dreams throughout all this, and the public is going to be watching and paying attention to you when you both win, and then when you get home again.
Once we're all back in the county, are the two of you willing to be the faces, to sit on my board and help determine where the funding goes, and how our application process should be run? Would you two help me find people to help, the way I should have been helping kids LIKE you this whole time? Don't worry about it RIGHT NOW, but once you've had the time to take care of the business here, please let me know.
