[quote][b]EraserGirl25 (10/16/2008)[/b][hr][b]Money Update:[/b] Okay guys, together we raised 676 dollars for Big Rich/his nephews.

All of the buttons that were purchased on ebay over the last couple of days were mailed out on Tuesday so you should be receiving them soon.

Also, I'm expecting a call today from Richard's agent Jeff with information on how to get the money to Rich.

Thank you so much for your overwhelming support of the idea, we did a wonderful thing guys!!![/quote]

Thanks again for heading all of this up - you're awesome. :)

Didn't see you, will you have them at the Browns game?

Here's an idea that may work if they aren't printed yet.

Talk to Jagmania they are making "Beat ..." pins if you show them perhaps they can help and lower your costs.l The pins they are putting out each week cost $1.50 per game. At 3.00 you would get a larger donation for the Collier family.
When our daughter was in Band a local Church had a pin maker and we used to scan their Band Picture and wear them during Band events to show our support.

Jay2da — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 17:41:03 GMT

Yeah, I saw the Steelers stickers too. Also, I'm not sure if anyone else noticed but, on the Jags sideline they had Rich's Jersey and helmet hanging up next to the bench. :). Also, I'm glad there were some still left. I bought 2 yesterday. Thanks again.

RE: Big Rich Buttons

Jags_Baby — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 14:39:10 GMT

i just bought 2 :) so happy you guys still had a few available!

I want a few of them and one of my coworkers and his wife will be there and want to have one. I'm not that familiar with all the lots down there and streets and such. Hubby always drives so since he can't be there I'm just parking in our usual spot and walking over the overpass to the stadium like we always do. I don't suppose there'll be someone camped out there at the restaurant/bar in front of the stadiumwill there?

If there is somewhere I can come by on saturday afternoon or sunday and pick them up, I'd most certainly be willing to do that.[/quote]

Kristin and I will be parked on the corner of Randolph and Oakley from 1-4pm on Sunday. From 4-6 we will be just walking around the Tailgaters parking because a lot of people there said they want a few. Then at 6pm we will be right in front of the big Jaguar ("Touchdown the Jaguars" statue on the west side of the stadium since we told a few people they could meet us there to get one. And if some are still left, we will have them at our seat which is section 122, row J, seat 23.

So on Sunday from:
1-4 we will be on the corner of A. Phillip Randolph and Oakley
4-6 we will be in the Tailgaters parking lot
6-6:30 in front of the big bronze Jaguars statue in front of the stadium
8-11:30 we will be on our seats. Section 122, row J, seats 22 and 23.

I am at Tailgaters L49. Please stop by, I know that a lot of people that are parked in that area will buy a button. You guys are great to spend your time and money to do this and it helps all of the Jaguar family to feel like they have done a little bit to help BIg Rich.[/quote]

Su héroe — Mon, 06 Oct 2008 17:17:22 GMT

Just FYI,

To those that missed us and those that we missed...

We thought we sold them all last night!! but I forgot I had 20 of them in my school backpack!!

I put those 20 back on ebay and hope we can get them in the mail soon to anyone who wants to help. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&item=260296931962

We are working with Richard's agent and also had a player tell us that he wants to give us money to make more. Not sure what Kristin wants to do yet. It was just a small gesture by her because she felt like she had to do something... I don't think she expected this reaction. Everyone is just happy that someone is doing something.

I'll call his agent tonight and see what he thinks we should do.

Thanks to all those that helped out yesterday!! Thanks for caring!
Go Big Bich! Go Jags!!

Going around to the tailgaters was a good idea. You got people from my group to get some. Obviously, a lot of the Jaguar fan base does not visit the boards.

RE: Big Rich Buttons

[quote][b]jag57 (10/5/2008)[/b][hr]My wife and I also were at the area @ 1:15 this afternoon. Did not see anyone except a fewJaguar fansthat were beginning to tailgate just down from the intersection. They had no idea what we were getting at. We are so upset. We want to help Rich and wanted to display his #76 during the game. He is, and always will be, inour hearts. Sad that we will never again get to see him in competition. Maybe wewill see him on the sideline sometime in the future cheering his friends on![/quote]

I'm sorry we missed you guys, we were there on and off. When nobody would come over to the car we would walk around the tents asking people and then at 530 headed to Touchdown, shortly after 6 we walked through the tailgaters parking lot. It's so hard to orchestrate something like that you know? Getting a group of people (who've never met and don't even know what each other look like...) to all find each other. :(

Thank you though to everyone who bought some, we will keep everyone updated on when we meet up with Colliers agent to give the money.

Well I just got back to st. aug from being downtown and could not locate you guys.. I asked several people around the lot near oakley and randolph and no one even seemed to know anything about the pins.. :( I'm getting ready to pick up my stepdaughter and head back up there but doubt I can get there by 6:30 to get one when you're at the statue--I'll try to stop by your seats and see if there are any left but I'm not holding my breath.

If anyone sees a 9 mo pregnant woman in a teal t-shirt walking with a blonde 11 year old girl and you have a couple of extra pins to sell me, flag me down!

You are doing a good thing here. Maybe you should have Collier's agent find out what he wants the profit to be used for. He may have a favorite charity that is in more need than his nephews.

No, but Collier's agent said he is sending a check to cover the cost. he said Richard wanted to do this.[/quote]

I find this simply amazing. What a huge heart Rich has after all he has been through.

I tried to get Kristin to let me know what the expense was for having the buttons made but she has skirted around the issue! Imagine that. ;) Is it just me, but I do not think Kristin or Rich's agent should foot the bill for the expenses. I think we (fans) should get the expense taken care of so that all other donations and purchases of the buttons will go to Rich and his nephews (including what his agent is sending).

Su heroe and Eraser Girl have done an awesome job and have huge hearts themselves. Maybe if the buttons are sold out by Sunday and people are still requesting them on ebay, more can be made? If the Jaguars players are dedicating this season to Big Rich, the purchase of buttons and donations do not have to stop Sunday. Just a thought....

Any way for us international Jaguars fans to get their hands on a button? The eBay auction has US shipping only.

If not, I'll buy a few anyway, and you can do what you want with the buttons. :D
