DirectBuy of Buffalo donates silent auction items

USA (SANEPR.com) July 1, 2008 -- The proceeds from the event will go to the Kevin Everett Foundation, a non-profit organization created by former Buffalo Bill Kevin Everett to financially assist people with spinal cord injuries transition from the hospital to their home.

The his and hers Movado watches retail for $499 each and are packaged in an 18k gold-plated case. Both feature a black museum dial, black crocodile-embossed leather strap, sapphire crystal and are water-resistant up to 99 feet.

“The Kevin Everett Golf Classic Weekend is going to be quite a special event and raising money for a very worthy cause. Even though we’re already a sponsor, we wanted to do a little more, hence the donation to the silent auction,” said Mark Klinger, co-owner of DirectBuy of Buffalo. “Kevin Everett’s miraculous recovery not only offers great hope to people with spinal cord injuries, but also inspiration to the rest of us to help more miracles happen. That’s why we’re positively thrilled and honored to be part of what will hopefully be many Kevin Everett Golf Classic Weekends.”

The two-day event will take place on July 6 and 7 at the Briarwood Country Club in Hamburg, New York. It will feature a 12th Man Tailgate Party on Sunday, July 6, from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. and an afternoon golf tournament (shotgun start with scramble format) on Monday, July 7.
