johnric Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 (edited) The friends of Jerome Kimbrough will be sponsoring a benefit dinner to help our dear friend...... As many of you know, Jerome is a lifelong member of the drum corps community. He started of in the Bridgemen Kidets, then on to 5 seasons with the Bridgemen, 2 seasons with the Garfield Cadets, and over 20 years with the Bushwackers. Because of physical ailments, Jerome lost his foot two weeks ago. Now before you go feeling horrible for him, he is in great spirits!!! He wants everyone to know he is OK, and looks forward to resuming his very active lifestyle and getting back to his career as a chef. However he has been in the hospital for quite some time and will remain there for some time longer. So... We, Jerome's family and friends, will be hosting a benefit dinner at St Andrews in Bayonne, NJ on the night of November 16th. It will be a night of fun, food, and drink... but most of all, all the proceeds of the event will be used to get Jerome "back on his feet" again! We need as much help and support as we can get to make this night a great success!!!!!!!!!! I will follow this with more information about the time and details of the event. If you are interested in attending, please email me at friendsofjerome@bridgemen.com for more information. we look forward to a big crowd and a great night!!!

drumlaw80 Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 Woah. This is a shock, and a bummer, to hear about. Jerome obviously has a lot of friends, which is cool. Jerome, I'm sending some good West Coast vibes your way, towards a speedy recovery. Get well soon! Lee Rudnicki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
