Feather Falls Fundraiser for Victor Rodriguez

Victor and Crystal Rodriguez were married on June 4th in Roseville before heading off to the Bahamas for their honeymoon. It was a much needed break for the newlyweds, who worked seven jobs between the two of them. On the day before their return home, they decided to have one last adventure and try parasailing. According to bystanders, their harness snapped and they fell from about 40 feet into the water below. Crystal was pronounced dead at the hospital and Victor has been receiving treatment for extensive injuries. Neither of them had insurance.

With the support of the Parks & Recreation Centers and Red Hatters in the Sacramento area, All West Coachlines has put together a fundraiser bus to help with Victor's medical costs. Together they have raised over $1,200 from donations and ticket sales. Feather Falls Casino in Oroville has also generously donated an additional $1,000. The trip will take place Saturday, August 20, 2011. The price for the trip is $35 per person with all proceeds going directly to Victor and his family. Trip includes roundtrip motorcoach transportation and 4 hours of free time at Feather Falls Casino with a bonus of $12 Cash Coupon and $3 Food. Depart from the Park & Ride lot at Golfland Sunsplash in Roseville. 21+ Only.
