Please send all donations with comment "pie" to Venmo @Jason-Wiseman-23 or PayPal @JasonWiseman23. All proceeds will be sent directly to the Tackett family. For every $100 donated, Ed Dickens will take a pie to the face! Every donation is greatly appreciated no matter how small. Donations will be combined in $100 increments. If any local businesses would like to sponsor a whole pie, I will gladly put a shout-out to you on this post! Please make all donations by 8:00 am this Friday, February 28th.
