Rick is doing well.
“Kidney 4 Rick” Benefit
Hope everyone is doing well-as you make plans for the weekend, we just want to remind everyone of our benefit this Saturday at the Rooster’s Den. You can come on by and donate $8.00 for the best BBQ and chicken plate you could ever eat…made even better by the wonderful cause you will be supporting. We are happy to report that Rick and Erin had the surgery on Wednesday, October 12th and Beth is happy to report:
Erin is home and doing well, still has some tenderness and slow moving but doing well. Ricky and Amy are still in Charleston but are hoping to get to come home for the weekend and be back in Charleston on Monday. All his numbers are great! Ricky is feeling good and smiling alot! Fred and I are doing good also. All of the kids are doing well also. It is different for them to have their parents gone but seem to understand the reasons and are adjusting good.
See you at the Rooster’s Den!
Great Friends, Great Food, Great Time and Even Greater Cause to “Party with a Purpose!!”

Every year the Palmetto Parrot Head Club has a “Meeting of the Minds Pity Party” that takes place the weekend before the annual event in Key West, Florida. This year we have been given the opportunity to help one of our own and
“Party with a Purpose!”
One in eight South Carolinians has chronic kidney disease and South Carolina is fifth in the nation with the number of patients on dialysis. Sadly, one of these South Carolinians is a family member of our own Santa Fred and Beth McCrudy. Beth’s niece’s husband, Ricky Kestner has Polycystic Kidney Disease and will be going to the Medical University of South Carolina in October for a kidney transplant. Ricky is very fortunate that the time has come for him to receive a kidney and making that possible is Beth’s daughter Erin. Erin is donating one of her kidneys to her cousin so that he does not have to wait on a transplant list and not have to undergo dialysis. What a wonderful human being Erin is…..
So on Saturday, October 22nd, the Palmetto Parrot Head Family is coming together at the Rooster’s Den in West Columbia from 1 pm until to help support one of our own by raising funds for Erin and Ricky’s upcoming kidney transplant at the “Kidney4Rick” Benefit! This event will be open to the public and will be blast for everyone!
The “Kidney4Rick” will have something for everyone including: food and beverages, live music donated by Good and Proper, raffles and silent auction with proceeds benefiting the transplant surgery for this father of two and Beth’s daughter Erin. We want everyone to come together and make this happen.
We will be serving BBQ plates of pork or chicken with all the fixings for $8.00 a plate. We have tickets for sale so that you can purchase in advance and pick up the day of the event if you can’t stay. Hey there is no football game and you can always stop by and enjoy a plate of great food on your way to the fair.
