RECYCLE FOR BOB SCHNEIDER BONE MARROW FUND
HELP ME - HELP A FRIEND IN NEED
RECYCLE-FOR-BOB-SCHNEIDER
MY NAME IS GREG ORSINI. I'M AN 8TH GRADE STUDENT AT THE PERSEOUS HOUSE CHARTER SCHOOL OF EXCELLENCE MARITIME CENTER, LOCATED IN ERIE, PA.
BOB SCHNEIDER, A FAMILY FRIEND,WAS DIAGNOSED WITH NON-HODGKINS LYMPHOMA IN 2001. HE WAS IN NEED OF A BONE MARROW TRANSPLANT WHICH HE RECEIVED ON NOVEMBER 14, 2006 AT WEST PENN HOSPITAL IN PITTSBURGH. HIS SISTER HAD THE HONOR OF BEING HIS DONOR.
I WANTED TO DO SOMETHING TO RAISE MONEY TO HELP WITH BILLS AND EXPENSES. SO I DECIDED I WOULD ASK THE COMMUNITY FOR DONATIONS OF ALUMINUM CANS TO BE RECYCLED. "RECYCLE FOB BOB SCHNEIDER" WAS NOW OFFICIAL. I'M ASKING FOR YOUR HELP. PLEASE START SAVING YOUR CANS, AND SHARE THIS WEBSITE AND ANY E-EMAILS REGARDING THIS PROJECT, WITH FRIENDS, FAMILY AND CO-WORKERS, SO THEY CAN START TOO!!!
DID YOU KNOW THAT TWO FAMILIES WILL BENEFIT FROM ONE ALUMINUM CAN?
THE TABS WILL BE REMOVED FROM THE CANS I COLLECT AND DONATED TO
"THE PULL TAB COLLECTION PROGRAM" AT THE RONALD MCDONALD HOUSE IN CLEVELAND. FOR MORE INFORMATAION ABOUT THIS PROGRAM VISIT THEIR WEBSITE AT: www.colrmhc.org/pop/html
THE "ROBERT SCHNEIDER BONE MARROW FUND", AN ACCOUNT I OPENED IN HIS NAME, AT THE ERIE FEDERAL CREDIT UNION, WILL BE USED FOR THE MONEY RAISED. DONATIONS CAN BE MADE TO THIS FUND AT ANY EFCU BRANCH. UNFORTUNATELY THEY DO NOT KEEP A LIST OF DONATORS. IF YOU DO MAKE A DONATION TO THE FUND, PLEASE LET US KNOW SO WE CAN ADD YOUR NAME TO OUR DONOR LIST. LOCATIONS AND HOURS OF OPERATION CAN BE FOUND ON THEIR WEBSITE. www.eriefcu.org
MOST BUSINESSES RECYCLE TO DEFRAY THEIR OWN EXPENSES. I WILL BE ASKING LOCAL BARS, CLUBS AND BOWLING LANES TO DONATE WHAT THEY MIGHT COLLECT IN A DAY OR TWO, POSSIBLY EVEN A WEEKEND'S WORTH. WHATEVER THEY CAN DONATE, WILL BE VERY MUCH APPRECIATED.
LOCAL SCHOOLS, COLLEGES, CHURCHES, CLUBS AND ORGANIZATIONS WILL BE ASKED TO CONSIDER DONATING THEIR RECYCLABLES TO THIS WORTHWHILE CAUSE. IF YOU A PARTICULAR PLACE IN MIND, LET US KNOW.
WITH THE HOLIDAY SEASON APPROACHING, PARTIES, FAMILY GATHERINGS AND NEW YEARS FESTIVITIES ARE IN THE PLANNING STAGES. THIS WOULD BE A PERFECT TIME TO START SAVING YOUR CANS AND CALL WHEN YOU NEED TO ARRANGE A PICKUP.
THERE IS ANOTHER WAY YOU CAN HELP. WHILE BOB WAS EMPLOYED AT HAMMERMILL/INTERNATIONAL PAPER, HE WAS A DEDICATED AND FAITHFUL BLOODMOBILE DONOR FOR MANY YEARS. WHY NOT CONSIDER DONATING BLOOD IN BOB'S NAME AT "THE COMMUNITY BLOOD BANK OF NORTHWEST PA"
ALL WHO KNOW BOB SCHNEIDER KNOW WHAT KIND OF MAN HE IS. HE HAS ALWAYS BEEN THERE TO LEND A HELPING HAND AND HAS GIVEN SO MUCH OF HIMSELF IN SO MANY WAYS. NOW IT'S TIME FOR US TO GIVE BACK IN A DIFFERENT WAY TO HELP THE MAN WHO HAS ALWAYS BEEN THERE TO HELP US.

***OUR FIRST OFFICIAL PICKUP SITE: OUR LADY OF MERCY CHURCH, IN HARBORCREEK, WHERE THE SCHNEIDERS ARE MEMBERS, HAVE RESERVED THE FIRST AND THIRD WEEKENDS IN NOVEMBER. PARISHONERS WILL BE ASKED TO BRING THEIR BAGGED CANS WITH THEM TO CHURCH, WHERE A TRUCK WILL BE WAITING FOR DONATIONS. WHY NOT ASK YOUR CHURCH TO DO THE SAME?.
