Hello, my name is Mike (or as Dave would say, Mikey) and I am coming to you today on behalf of the BvB Brigade to ask for your help and generosity in assisting our friend, and one of our leaders and co-host of BvB, Mr. Dave Sharapan.
Dave was recently diagnosed with cancer and will be undergoing surgery to have it removed. During his recovery time, Dave will not be able to perform his normal on-air talent roles on which we are used to seeing him, and it will take a great financial toll on his income. This is where we come in to show our love and support to Dave and his family and help support them through this challenging time.
Many of you know and love Dave, much like I do. For those of you that aren’t familiar with him, let me try to do justice on just how much of an amazing person he is. Dave is a loving husband and a proud #GirlDad to three amazing young ladies. He is a Pittsburgh native and Penn State Alumna. Dave is the type of person that could never be a stranger to anyone. You only have to walk through a downtown Vegas sportsbook or casino to see just how many people know and love him. Dave is also a stroke survivor and regularly uses his platform to share his story with others in order to spread awareness about strokes and other issues. You can meet Dave once and with only a five-minute conversation, you end up feeling like you have known him all of your life. He is always first in line when others are going through troubling times offering his support and help in any way he can. Now it is our turn to give back to Dave.
Let us stand up and rally behind Dave and his family so we can provide them the support and stability during his treatment and recovery. He has given so much to others, now it is our turn to give Dave the peace of mind that he needs to be able to focus on his health and recovery. Every little bit helps and it is greatly appreciated.
Always Forward, Never Straight,
Mike and the BvB Brigade
