Eric "Pook" Sabo Fundraiser

On Thursday morning, October 18th, Eric at the age of 37 suffered a massive stroke which has resulted in brain swelling and limited mobility. His progress is moving in the right direction but has a long road ahead with rehab and recovery.


Born and raised in Salem, Eric and Shelley got married and began their family together. They made the decision to move out west to Arizona to begin a comfortable life and leave the crazy New England winters. However, in times like these, the distance takes a toll since so many of their family and friends are still here and want nothing more to help them through this. We feel helpless, and all we want to do is help them.


$20 donation at the door is suggested but please, give what you feel you can. Raffle tickets will be sold for prizes from 6:00pm-9:00pm and the winners will be drawn at 9:00pm. A 50/50 raffle will be held as well. All proceeds of course will be given to Eric, Shelley, and the kids.

Pats are on at 1:00 that day and after we celebrate a WIN, we can honor and support our friends! DJ Norman Burnett has generously donated his time, as well as the hall. We will not be at a shortage of food either!
