Donate | Mikey B's Memorial Fund In memory of Michael "Mikey B" Barnd we are creating a fund to sponsor youth sports in Carterville (home of Mikey B's Bleacher Bum Collectibles) and hopefully into Herrin where Mikey B lived. Through this fund we hope to communicate with everyone that shared the love of collecting and visiting Mikey B's. We would love for you to share your stories and memories and ideas on how we can continue his legacy. The goal of the fund is to be able to sponsor teams in all sports from Caterville and Herrin (maybe some day spread his love further to Carbondale where he attended SIU and first started in the card business), provide sports equipment to players that need assistance, and maybe someday a scholarship to local athletes. |
