Giving away Boston Bruins PJ jersey

edited December 2010 in Given To Fly (live)
I am giving away a customized Boston Bruins jersey (see photos). My wife ordered this for me for our anniversary but it came with the incorrect lettering and numbering; dual-colored rather than tri-colored, but still a pretty sweet jersey. "Shop NHL.com" sent me a corrected one and told me to give the other one away, which I thought was pretty cool of them, to charity or something of my choice. I know from reading other posts that there are PJ fans who are looking for items that other fans are willing to give up because not all of us are as financially well off. So, I am looking for a PJ/Bruins fan who would wear this jersey with pride. I would prefer to give it to someone who maybe couldn't afford to get one themselves. I'll follow the responses for a few days and will let the lucky person know. P.S. I'll cover the shipping as well.

Thanks to all who submitted their stories. The winner was picked on December 28th and it was KR62675.

    I realize that it is tough to post that you would like something given to you because you are struggling financially, so if someone knows of a fan who they could give it to, I would definitely be willing to send it to you if you were going to pass it on.

    My daughter lost a dear friend last year right before Thanksgiving. The school was completely grief stricken, as was the community as a whole. Her high school has about 250 students, 9-12 grades, and the parents of the boy that was lost has now started a RAK group that my daughter is part of. They get together as often as possible, which considering most high school students schedules' is tough. They raked peoples leaves this fall, and tied quilts for the police depts' crisis "gifts" 2 weeks ago. RAK-- Random Act of Kindness

    I would love to ask her if she knows of a needy youth in these times that would appreciate it. If you have other takers or options, by all means let it go to them.

    Peace

    I love me some bruins and some pearl jam and seeing that me and my wife just had twins who spent 30 days in the hospital, well we're pretty strapped for cash. Can't figure out how to post pics of kids.

    I've got a really good friend who was unemployed for a year and a half, went through retraining and still couldn't find a job. Just when his unemployment was set to expire, he finally got rehired. He's just pulling himself back together and he's humbled me with his refusal of handouts. I've offered him all kinds of help and he's just flat out refused it. A pride kind of thing. Anyway, he's a huge Bruins, Patriots, Red Sox and Celtics fan and has an excylipedic mind when it comes to sports history and trivia. I'm sure he'd wear it proudly and be forever grateful.

    Very cool item, very generous offer and thanks for the chance.

    Merry Christmas, a better New Year and Peace!

    holy crap.....that is awesome. Hard core bruins fan here (from western mass) that has seen every game so far this year, only missed 2 last year when I was out of town without NESN. Come from a die hard hockey family (nephew is named after one of the greatest players to ever lace up skates, Cam Neely). Would love to win this jersey, been bugging the lady friend for one for a while since I would like to wear a sweater while rooting for my favorite team but since we just bought a house (closing on monday!!!!) and are getting married next year, the budget won't allow for a hockey jersey. This would be a nice upgrade from my Seguin t-shirt, and would absoltuly pay it forward with a giveaway of my own. Thanks for the offer.

    Awesome gesture! Awesome jersey! I would love it but I'm sure there are bigger Bruins fans than myself. I think they are a cool team but I'm a die hard Blues fan. LETS GO BLUES!!!!

    Wow, that's a nice jersey and great offer, good luck to all. When I was about 9 my dad gave me my first puck for Christmas, it was a Bruins puck. Through moving a lot, a lot, I lost that as well as a lot of other great stuff. I'm a Canucks fan but I never forgot the first puck I got.
