"Beat It Wally!" Bracelets *BEAT IT WALLY BRACELETS*
The one and only Ms. Paula O'Rourke (Wally's band member in Eric Burdon & The Animals) has designed these cool "Beat It Wally!" bracelets to help rally support and donations for the Wally Ingram benefit fund. Here are some words from Paula:
While we scramble with our feeling of the incredible injustice of Wally's illness, I thought support bracelets would be one way that we can support and focus our thoughts, prayahs and love to dah Ingrams! I have a paypal account set up and will have donations sent straight to a "Beat it Wally!" Ingram fund. Please send donations (any little bit will help - suggesting $10/per) to the paypal account www.paypal.com (my e-mail address - paulatiny@yahoo.com), send me your address and I will get the bracelets out to you.
We now have 3 different designs (Red, Yellow, Green) depending on the response. If you don't feel comfortable with Paypal, we will accept checks as well. Please e-mail Paula with bracelet requests!
