Still Here
We’d like to take a second to let everybody know that we’re still here. Time and resources are slim, so it makes our fight tougher than we’d like. More times than we can count, we’ve had the real desire to quit our jobs and dedicate 100% of our time to SAF and its mission.
But at the end of the day, that’s just not realistic.
Until the time when we can jump back into the fight at full strength, please know that our hearts are still with all of those families dealing with this horrible disease.
Thank you.

A Personal Note from Kevin Antcliff
I know as well as anybody that times are tight for so many people these days. Even my own family has, at times, severely felt the crunch caused by the tough economy. So many families are struggling to keep paying bills, put food on their table, and keep the lights on.
But as bad as it’s been for many of us, I couldn’t imagine being the position of the family that needs our help this morning. As my family cared for my mom, we were fortunate to never have to face the thought of losing a house, falling behind on bills, or not being sure where our next meal would come from. Yet that’s exactly what this family is facing right now.

Calling All Warriors – A Family in Need. An URGENT Call to Action.
This is urgent, everybody. A family that we’ve been talking to for the last several months made it known to a member of our board last night that they are in serious trouble.
Here’s the quick overview:
The husband is a hero. A firefighter who has put his life on the line hundreds of times for others, lost his brothers in devastating fires, and is loved by all who have ever worked with him. He has children – a young daughter in college, and a growing young boy. He has a wife. A fighter who we’re proud to know.

The Summer Blues
A note from Kevin Antcliff
I’m still pretty new at this non-profit thing. All of my professional experience lies in the fields of marketing, PR, sports journalism, and retail loss prevention. Trying to build a non-profit and grow it into something that can help hundreds of thousands of people is a little bit of a culture shock for me.

The Warrior Auction is Coming
Our second Warrior Auction is starting to shape up, as we’re seeing donations come in from big-name athletes and clothing brands!
So far, and after just a week of inquiries, we have donations promised from the following:
Former WWE/WCW Wrestler and current TV personality Bill Goldberg
UFC Middleweight and SAF supporter Nate Marquardt
Big-Time MMA clothing brand MMA Warehouse
One of cable’s premier MMA leaders HDNetFights
The auction will take place on eBay, and every penny raised will go directly to our foundation to help us fund our fight against young-onset Alzheimer’s disease. We’ll kick off Warrior Auction on September 10, 2010, and we’ll end it on October 10th.
As many of you know, October 10th is the birthday of Sharon Antcliff, the reason this foundation exists. She would have been 63. So let’s raise a lot of money, and make it a happy birthday celebration!
If you’d like to donate items, please contact us via our contact form or phone number on our contact page.
Warrior Auction 2.0
Even though last year’s auction didn’t go as well as we’d hoped due to our newness and lack of reach, we think we can make some big things happen, so we’re bringing back the Warrior Auction!
We’re looking for any cool, signed items that might generate some interest on Ebay. Sports memorabilia is our main target, but we’ll take any value items that could help us raise some funds for our fight against young-onset Alzheimer’s. If you have anything you’d be willing to donate, please let us know!
