Leader In Sports Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Joe Jacoby and Jeff Bostic will be doing an appearance May 21st in Downtown Fredericksburg from 1-2 pm. 100% of the autograph fee goes directly to the Fredericksburg Regional Food Bank's Food 4 Families program. This program puts emergency food pantries directly into local schools. For more information check out the event on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/events/1614294008893705/ or on our website: http://leaderinsports.com/epages/d339b2c2-90c4-402c-bc06-ce534df46005.sf/en_US/?ObjectPath=/Shops/d339b2c2-90c4-402c-bc06-ce534df46005/Categories/Public_Signings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkB452 Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 ...is this $25 per autograph or $25 to get a autograph from both of them? BTW, thanks for continuing this event. Win-Win for everybody involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leader In Sports Posted May 10, 2016 Author Share Posted May 10, 2016 This is $25 per autograph and you are correct, it is an amazing cause with 100% of the money going directly to feed kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommDownMan Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Will there be food/activities that aren't autograph related and support the cause? I think my father would enjoy a skins event and helping out, but doubt he would want autographs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leader In Sports Posted May 10, 2016 Author Share Posted May 10, 2016 Not at this event. However, it is in Old Town Fredericksburg with lots of things to see and do. Our company represents both Jeff & Jake and they are in town with a free weekend. We are simply taking advantage of this fact and helping a cause that all three of us support with the autograph session. Since we have a set up in an antique mall, this was a simple way of doing it without overhead so that the Food 4 Families program could get 100% of the autograph fee. Both Joe Jacoby and Jeff Bostic are donating their time for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lot's of bars and diners along Caroline Street and the surrounding area. Parking usually sucks after about 10am, so bring your walking shoes, but the whole city might be a square mile if that. Cool event, wish I was home for it. Surprised Nelms and Hang Man aren't up for this. They both live there and I've run into Nelms more than once in town.

Long n Left Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 Ran into Big Jake at the golf tournament here in Charlotte this weekend. Kinda funny as the wife and I were walking from our chairs at the tenth green to the watering hole and I happen to get behind a mountain of a man, and at 6'2" 215# myself, this guy made me take notice. As we walk around him, I look up, and it's Jacoby. I say hi, talk to him for a couple secs, and wish him well in his quest for the hall. Did not know that he was a Charlotte resident now. Same ole Jake. Nice guy, blocks out the sun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fredericksburg is a great town which is why we are located here. You won't be disappointed. A couple blocks to the South of the event is a place that every NYer I know swears is legit NY style pizza. Slices are $4 for cheese and $5 for 1 topping. 1 slice will feed even the biggest person. Mike Nelms and I work frequently together and he does a charity event with us for the past decade. Mike was actually by my house this week, and if you check the Facebook page you will see pictures. Chris Hanburger lives out of state. He does do events here on a semi regular basis only because this is where we are located and our company reps Chris (along with Jacoby, Bostic, Kilmer, Bobby Mitchell and Jay Schroeder) exclusively.

Same ole Jake. Nice guy, blocks out the sun. He's a resident now? Last I remember he was up in Wincherster at Shenendoah as an assistant. Just googled and said he's was an o-line coach at Concordia in Chicago? Never heard of them. Really cool that you got to see him at a golf tourney, though. Hope I can make this event, sounds like it'll be a cool one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I told him it was a pleasure to know he is a Charlottean now, and wished him well. He still looks as though he could eat Bigfoot for lunch.

Yes, he moved down there a couple of months ago and is LOVING it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leader In Sports Posted May 22, 2016 Author Share Posted May 22, 2016 A big thank you to everyone who attended the event. We raised enough funds to establish 7 new pantries in local schools.

MarkB452 Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Another great Leader In Sports event....I even met Joe J's daughter while I was waiting in line. She is about 6-3 and definitely looks like her dad. I asked her if she played basketball. She told me that she swam in college for FSU and then transferred (Colgate?).
