Chicago bank pool legend Leonard ‘Bugs’ Rucker is really suffering from the advancement of diabetes. He is seriously down, but not out! He had a leg amputated July 2nd.
Thank you all for your generous donations; the drawing took place July 17th.
OnePocket.org donated the Paypal fees, so 100% of your contribution went toward Bugs. Our man Freddy Bentivegna administered the delivery of these funds, because Bugs doesn’t even have a bank account.
Raffle is closed — thank you all for your donations!
