This thread is actually being initiated by Barry Edwards - the brother of NJSCHMITTY (real name - Dave "ED" Edwards). Frank was kind enough to allow me to use his account to post our plea for help. Thank you Frank!
As many of you know, we (Schmitty's family) are planning to have a large tailgate party at this Saturday's game in honor of Schmitty and are using it as a fund-raising event to support cancer research at the Temple Fox Chase Cancer Center. We are calling it "Meatballs For Melanoma" and will be offering lots of meatball sandwiches and other food items in exchange for donations to Temple Fox Chase. It seemed like a perfect combination of circumstances since Schmitty died from Melanoma and Saturday will be Temple's "Cancer Awareness Day" game.
We planned to hold the event in the vicinity of Schmitty's legendary tailgates along Tailgate Row: however, we have not gotten much cooperation from the Temple administration in securing three designated parking spots in which to set up our tailgate - including the legendary big red "T" on top of a van! They have pretty much told us to get in line early and hope for the best.
We plan to do our part by getting there extremely early in hopes of being the first in line. However, we are concerned that we still might encounter problems if we don't have Lot K Parking Passes and instead try to pay cash. Accordingly, we are trying to get some LOT K Parking Passes to eliminate that potential obstacle. That's where we are looking for your help! If anyone has a Lot K Parking Pass for this Saturday evening's game (vs UCF) that they will not be using or would be willing to sell, we would love to be able to use it. We need a total of 4 passes: however, I think we may have lined up 2 already and may only need 2 more. If you can help us out, please feel free to contact me directly via my cell phone (610-272-4818) or via email at ebarrye@gmail.com so that we can arrange to pick up/pay for your permit. Thank you!
We remain optimistic that we will be able to set up our tailgate in or near Tailgate Row, so come visit us on Saturday! Look for the "Big Red T" and for all the smiling folks wearing shirts with "NJ SCHMITTY" on back! Come hoist a can of Natty Bo with us in honor of my brother - and your friend - NJ SCHMITTY. His legend lives on!
Hope to hear from you soon.
GO OWLS!
