T-Bone's Broken Bone Benefitz - Please Read Carefully and Help Help Help.

Tony, aka T-Bone, from Alhambra, broke his arm a week ago Monday while riding with a few of us. It's broken so far up on his fore arm, near his elbow, that he can't get a cast because it'll ruin the rotation of his arm. There is no other option but surgery. Surgery which cost lots and lots of money. Ironically enough, he works at a hospital but he is not eligible for medical insurance yet.
So I've made some phone calls and we's gonna:
-Throw a hat around at the Sins and Sprockets ride (bring moneez).
-And throw a hat around the Mustache Ride (bring more moneez).
-And next Sunday, March 30th, with the (5fix2), we'll roll from Uptown Whittier to Urban Hippies Wrenching Space in Huntington Beach. We'll be selling food, and have live music with all proceeds going to T-Bones surgery. Sorryz, no drinkz at Urban's Wrenching Space, but we're talking to a bar very close, and hopefully we'll hang there after the food and music.
PLEASE, PLEASE!!! I'm in way over my head and could use any help we can get. Mike, any advice? Anybody wanna donate stuff for raffles. Know a bar around Urban's place where we can get some of the proceeds from the beerz? Really, I'd like to use the Save Dave's Face ride as a template. But! Again, I need all the help I can gets.
Help!

oh fuck! Sorry to hear about this Tony. You'll be riding before you know it.
Saw, get that paypal account, so we can donate! I won't be making many rides this weekend, so I won't be able to chip into the hat.
