Danny Simon log time friend and roommate of Bryan Stow decided he would contact Danielle of El Palomar and do something for his friend of 25 years as he lay in a coma in Los Angeles.

The event that took place last night was way more than anyone could have asked for. Amazing people came together and donated from the heart, not only their money but for some prize possessions.

KDON 102.5 and The Morning Madhouse led by DJ Showbiz made the night spectacular. It was not without emotion as Showbiz asked for a moment of silence for Bryan Stow, it slammed right into the opening ceremony for the first home game of the year for the San Francisco Giants vs. LA Dodgers. The game was dedicated to Bryan Stow and a message was spoken by the teams that while this is a rivalry, we all go home to our families in the end. Stop the violence was the overarching theme.  You could have heard a pin drop in the Palomar…it was emotional.

After everyone was reminded why we were there, the festivities began as Bryan would have wanted them to. Auction items were flying quicker than Showbiz and Danielle could keep track. First to go was the replica World Series trophy for $550.

Next up was the autographed Barry Bonds bat donated by Eddie Gauer of Tanners Cove that fetched $650 in a heated live auction.

As the evening continued numerous items were Live Auctioned, Silent Auctioned and raffled off with over $20,000 being raised in total for the Bryan Stow recovery fund.

I have never seen the Palomar that packed on a Monday night, and in the back of my mind I could not get the visual of Bryan Stow’s smiling face…and the fact that he was lying in a hospital bed completely unaware as to how many people care about him, his family and his recovery. It is truly heart warming to see the community come out in full force. Thank you to some many people, you all made a difference last night.

Below was a song dedicated to Bryan Stow and was sung at the top of everyone’s lungs. Hopefully Bryan will one day realize how many people truly care.
