If anyone has heard about this family and wants to contribute, there are some cool FW prize trips.


Below from today's Times union .

Sometimes the generosity of the outdoor community takes on a far more local and personal note. I was recently contacted by Dan Motyl regarding another effort by the outdoors community. Dan has been hard at work putting together a dinner for the Giglio family. On August 8, the family suffered a terrible loss when 10 month-old Jayson Paul Giglio died.Motyl and friends are rallying area sportsmen and the general public and are hosting a benefit dinner from 4-7 p.m. Monday, Sept. 15, at the Armory Grill in Amsterdam. The meal includes spaghetti, salad and dessert and all proceeds will go to the Giglios. A raffle is also scheduled. Most of the items have been donated by area sport shops or guide services. For example, Gottums Guide service has donated a guided drift boat trip for two on the Salmon River for steelhead (http://www.fishsteelhead.com (http://www.fishsteelhead.com/)). Guide Loren Williams has donated a day of fly-fishing (http://www.flyguysoutfitting.com (http://www.flyguysoutfitting.com/)). R.J. Strattman, a back-country brook trout guide, has also donated a day of fishing (http://www.foreverwildoutfitters.com (http://www.foreverwildoutfitters.com/)). Fox Hollow Lodge (http://www.foxhollowsalmonriverlodge.com (http://www.foxhollowsalmonriverlodge.com/)) on the Salmon River has donated two nights lodging for two in March (prime steelhead fishing time). The folks at Goldstock's in Glenville have donated a gift certificate.

In addition to all of the great outdoor trip giveaways, many of the raffle prizes appeal to other sports fans, like New York Mets tickets or gifts like day passes to area spas.Motyl is still putting together the prizes and will surely have more items and trips generously donated by folks trying to help the Giglio family.For more information call Dan at 829-4011 or e-mail mohawkriverdan@hotmail.com (mohawkriverdan@hotmail.com), or jay@trenchmouthproductions.com.When (jay@trenchmouthproductions.com.When) you head out to hunt this fall, remember to give something back.

There can't be anything worse than losing a kid. Plan to donate. I wish them much success.

Bump to the top for the Giglio family. The dinner is today from 4-7pm, if anyone was thinking about going.
