Wesley Kogelman and BuyATimeshare.com Employees Come Together to Raise Money for Rosie January 20, 2010
Posted by Bryan Connelly in : General, News & Events, Uncategorized , trackbackAs you may know, cancer can come at any time to anyone. You’ve heard the story of someone going for their annual exam and finding out they only have a specific amount of time left on this earth! As frightening as these stories are they really don’t settle in our minds until it happens to someone close. In August my good friend and employee Chris Turcotte AKA “Allen” found out that his step mother Rosie was diagnosed with terminal cancer during a routine visit to the Doctor.
During this trying time he has dedicated his paychecks and time to raising money for her treatment. Many of us are involved in the community throughout the year and we know it is appreciated by non-profits that we help. But it’s nice to give back to someone close to us, someone that we know, someone that we can see our helping hands really are doing good.
Rosie Turcotte is a 44 yr old Mother of three as well as a Step Mother of two. She is happily married and is looking forward to her 17th anniversary. While her battle continues here at home, her youngest son (19) is serving his second tour in Iraq. Rosie’s accomplishments do not go unnoticed. She was twice rated the top female bowler in her league. The manager of popular downtown ice-cream retreat, Rosie enjoys being a passenger on her husband’s motorcycle. Her second chance is validation that miracles do exist and should be an inspiration to all of us.
With live music, raffle tickets and a lot of good people, the “Raising For Benefit” was a complete success. Held at the Sky Lounge in Nashua on Amherst Street, all proceeds went to raise funds for Rosie Turcotte and her fight against lung cancer.
Raffles included collectibles and gift certificates from local business. Win a pair of Monarch tickets and airline tickets to anywhere Southwest files donated by BuyaTimeshare.com, gift certificates for some great food at The Common Man, Margaritas, Louis’s and Frederick’s Pastries. Hair We Are is raffling off a spa-package, 3 months of free storage in a 5′x15′ unit, courtesy of Granite Clover Self Storage and some great Miller Lite, Red Sox, and Budweiser memorabilia was raffled off!
Thank you for your support.
