Honouring Claydawg Jim Leverton

As you are probably aware of now, the Claydawgs lost on of its own in a tragic Utah accident last weekend. The Dawgs have sent this e-mail on how you can preserve the legacy Jim leaves behind. We encourage you to help the dawgs and Mr. Leverton's family by donating, or buying a pin, both benefiting the BAF, as outlined in this e-mail.

I'm sure many of you are aware that last week we lost a very special Dawg. Jim Leverton (jimu1963, aka SnowDawg) was killed in a tragic accident in state of Utah. We all are mourning and trying to come to grips with this sad news. The past week, there have been so many wondeful prayers and thoughts posted on our board and other boards throughout the fandom. We have been in direct contact with Jim's parents this whole time and they have commented many times on how helpful those prayers and thoughts have been.

To honor Jim and all he stood and lived for, the ClayDawgs have established the Jim Leverton Memorial Fund. 100% of proceeds from this fund will go directly to the Bubel/Aiken Foundation in Jim's name. He loved children and greatly admired Clay so we felt it would be a perfect way to make sure that Jim's legacy lives on forever.

If you would like to leave Jim's wonderful parents a note or prayer, you can do so at the following link:

I do know that they read the thread everyday and have even posted updates and thank yous the past week.

If you would like to contribute to the Bubel/Aiken Foundation in Jim's name, all you need to do is go to the main page by clicking here: http/www.theclaydawgs.com/phpbb Then click the black graphic just below the banner with Jim's picture in it and it will take you to a PayPal screen where you can submit a donation. Again, 100% of all money donated will go to directly to BAF. If you don't have a PayPal account but wish to still donate, please contact Brandon at imfeelingitdawg@yahoo.com and he will give you instructions on how to do so.

We also have designed a new pin to honor Jim that can be worn at upcoming concerts or anywhere else you please. The pins sell for $4.20 plus shipping with $1.00 going to the Fund. You can order them here: http://www.theclaydawgs.com/phpbb/pins.php

This is an extremely difficult time for all the Dawgs and Lovely Ladies. Jim was a dear friend to so many of us and will be greatly missed. But his spirit will live on in all of our hearts forever and with your help, many special needs children & their parents will also know who Jim was and know what a special man he was.

God Bless,

The ClayDawgs
