Hello,
Thank you in advance for taking the time to read my request.
To give you a little background, I am a member of the Roughrider Commission, a non-profit volunteer organization in Dickinson, North Dakota. Our main function is to organize a fourth of July celebration. Over the years, we became aware of the large number of people and families in Dickinson and southwest North Dakota that were dealing with cancer and other illnesses and were needing to be traveling to a larger community 100 miles away for medical treatment. These treatments sometimes extend to long periods of time creating a financial burden for the patient or their family.
Because of this, the Roughrider Commission formed the Cabin Fever Benefit Committee. This committee's sole function is to organize the annual Cabin Fever Benefit, a fund raiser for the Ronald McDonald House in Bismarck, North Dakota. In doing so, we are able to raise funds to help offset the expenses a family may incur while staying at the Ronald McDonald House during an illness. We started this event 15 years ago and we are very proud of our success. We hold the event the second Saturday in February. We chose the name to coincide with the date as by then in North Dakota, we have a bad case of "cabin fever" and we felt it would give people an opportunity to get out for an evening of food, fun and fellowship while raising money for a very good cause.
The event consists of a silent auction, beef BBQ supper, live auction, dance, raffle and midnight breakfast. All proceeds go to help the Ronald McDonald house by supplying them with items on their "wish list", helping with needed remodeling to the house itself, purchasing appliances and covering the costs for people from southwest North Dakota to stay at the house. We have over the recent years expanded our coverage area and also now cover costs for people from southwest North Dakota that may need to travel as far as Rochester, Minnesota and stay at a Ronald McDonald House.
I am sorry to ramble on, but I felt it was necessary to give you a little background on us and our event to better justify my request. As mentioned above, a big part of the fund raising during the event comes from the silent and live auctions. We have been very fortunate to receive numerous items for the auctions from very generous merchants in Dickinson and southwest North Dakota but we are always looking for new items that may bring heightened interest to the auctions. Since Trace is scheduled to be in Bismarck, ND for a concert this coming April, I would like to request a donation of an autographed auction item for our February 13, 2010 Cabin Fever Benefit. Given the numerous fans Trace has, and possibly does not even know about in Dickinson and southwest North Dakota, I feel an autographed item would be a huge hit at our auction.
I do understand that celebrities such as Trace must get requests daily for donated items and I respect the fact that not every request can be met. But of course, I would hope that you would take a look at our request as well as the benefit of the event and strongly consider a donation. We would graciously accept anything that you may feel you can contribute.
Again, thank you for taking the time to read through my e-mail request. I do not want to take up any more of your time, but if you have questions or would like more information from me, please feel free to contact me and I'd be happy to help however I can. If this request needs to go to another person, I would ask that you forward it on to them, or let me know where I should re-direct our request.
Thank you very much for your time and consideration. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Mom's illness reason for Brooks' new hit Jack Hurst - Tribune Media Services Garth Brooks' mother, Colleen, has just received a ``100 percent'' favorable report on her treatment for throat cancer from physicians at UCLA, Brooks reports. Her medical situation was a primary reason her son recorded the hot new single ``It's Your Song,'' which recently broke a record by becoming the highest-debuting single in the history of the country hit chart of the Radio & Records trade publication. The song hit number four in its first week on the chart. Garth's mother's problem was the reason the singer was shown the song by one of its two co-writers, Benita Hill. Herself a cancer survivor who also had gone through the same kind of trauma with her own mother, Hill was a co-writer of the Brooks smash ``Two Pina Coladas.'' Brooks says she showed him the song as a friend seeking to help him deal with his pain. Brooks says the song hit him hard, and he went to producer Allen Reynolds to ask whether Reynolds thought the song was really that good or whether Brooks was just feeling it because of the situation with his mother. He says Reynolds, who already had heard it, replied that he thought the song was a hit and was just waiting for an appropriate moment to recommend it. The initial single from Brooks' brand-new ``Double Live'' album, ``It's Your Song'' is sufficiently ambiguous to be able to be taken as a moving thank-you to Brooks fans. ``And (to) God,'' the singer adds. Brooks lost his mother, Colleen, to cancer a couple of years ago. While the loss has been devastating to the superstar, Brooks says he learned a great lesson from the late Hollywood movie producer Dawn Steel that helps him make it through the holidays. "Dawn Steel taught me that life is truly measured by how much you live after you're gone, and my mom lives and Christmas is probably the greatest day," he says. "We used to drive home Christmas from Tulsa--from (wife) Sandy's parents' --and we would get there at seven in the morning and Mom would be standing knee-deep in wrapping paper and I'd go, 'What are you doing?,' and she'd go, 'I was up at five.' And she wouldn't wait. She was like a little kid. She ripped into all her packages and that's how she was, so that's what Christmas is for us, is what my mom made Christmas, so we make sure our kids are the same way and that we're that same way, so she's still there, probably more at Christmas than any other time."
I met Garth Brooks' parents some years ago when he came to Mesa, Arizona, to play baseball in a summer league. They were delightful people to meet. I remember his father saying I might have heard of his son, who sang but wanted to play baseball that summer. I asked him who he was and he said, "Garth Brooks". I said to him that yes I had heard of him, he was a superstar. His dad said he wasn't any different than the rest of his boys. We then discussed the family and it turned out I had gone to the same University as one of his boys. His mother didn't say much other than how proud she was of her boys. I got the impression she was quite ill. I hope I am wrong but I wouldn't be surprised if she has since passed on.
How many kids does Garth Brooks have and their ages?

Who is more famous Lady Gaga or Garth Brooks?
I think Lady Gaga is more famous these days, depending on the fact that she has more than 25 million twitter followers and more than 51 million facebook likes. She is one of the biggest pop stars today, I bet she will take the 'Pop Queen' crown from Madonna soon.
As of my last update in October 2021, I don't have specific information on Sandy Mahl's current activities. She is best known as the ex-wife of country music star Garth Brooks and has largely kept a low profile after their divorce. For the most recent updates on her life or career, I recommend checking the latest news sources or social media platforms.
