We would like to introduce you to the Pentlicky family. Matt and Vittoria Pentlicky have been good friends of ours for many years and were even a part of our wedding. Matt is a self employed contractor and Vi is a stay at home mom for their three adorable children Matteo (8), Mia (7), and Luca (5). We can honestly say that they’re one of the most precious families we've ever met.

A little over a year ago Matt was diagnosed with Stage 4 esophageal cancer and was given just a few months to live. Thankfully, Matt has overcome the odds through a grueling treatment process and is still fighting today. Not only is he fighting for each additional day he gets to spend with his family, he is also, on his good days, fighting to support them and pay the endless medical bills. The goal of this raffle is to raise money for PROJECT PENTLICKY so that Matt has what he needs win the fight and CRUSH cancer.  

Back in 2008, I went to my first SEC football game down in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. I have to say it was one of my greatest sports experiences. This was an opportunity I wanted others to witness as well.  When I approached my friends at LSU and Delta Air Lines they were more than generous and willing to help. The trip we put together we’re calling the "Ultimate College Football Weekend”.  The raffle tickets are $100 each and all of the proceeds go to help the Pentlicky family.  

Can’t tell you how much we would appreciate your support. Please forward this opportunity to anyone you think would like to help and have a chance to experience this Ultimate College Football Weekend.    

Matt WILL beat this and with our help hopefully it will be sooner rather than later.  

Our message to Matt is one that we’ve heard many times from the great Jimmy Valvano:

                                   DON’T GIVE UP, DON’T EVER GIVE UP!  

Thank you for your support.
