Benefit for Mick Vranich [1946-2010]
I'm sure some of you all know Mick Vranich and if you know him you know how much hes done for so many people.
As I understand it, Mick took a very serious fall on a construction site. He suffered a pretty bad head injury as well as a punctured lung and two broken vertebrae. There will be at least two benefits for him. I don't know all the details but the first one will be at the Old Miami next Saturday Feb. 20th. I understand another one will be at CCS later in the month.
If anyone has any more solid info please post it here. There will be an auction of donated artwork at both benefits. If you can donate a piece of your work or good old $$ please do it.
As I get more info Ill post it here.
Mick Vranich Fund Raiser Info
Went down to see the Muggs at the Motown Winterblast last night and got some more info on Mick. More surgery is planned for next week to stabilize two broken vertebrae that he suffered among other injuries falling through a floor and down some stairs [[YIKES!)
Here's the latest info that I have of the first of several benefits planned to help Mick & Sherry out: Friends and fans of Detroit, give what you can. If I find out about making direct donations to help out I will post it here because I know that a lot of folks would want to help out that are not going to make it down to the Old Miami....
