Co-founded by UCF graduate, Delray Beach business owner and die-hard Arnold fan, Ryan Boylston has pulled out all of the stops to gain the attention of the megastar, in hopes he will help the fiercely loyal group raise funds for the CJ Foundation for Children in Need, which holds a very personal meaning for Boylston.
“This is truly the ultimate of fan gatherings,” Boylston said, owner and CEO ofWoo Creative in Delray Beach. “Fans from all over the place show up every year and watch a marathon of Arnold movies, dress as various characters, swap stories, eat birthday cake and basically just have fun. But we do it with a purpose, and this year, we need The Governator’s help to raise awareness and funds for this critical cause.”
A portion of all proceeds will be donated to the CJ Foundation for Children in Need, a South Florida-based charity that helps provide financial and educational resources for families who have children with autism or cancer. With a fundraising goal of $20,000, “Arnold Day” can help the CJ Foundation provide scholarships to well deserving children and their families. “If Arnold comes,” says Boylston, ‘we will easily be able to contribute to our fundraising goal. Help us get him here!”
There is an online crowd-funding campaign as well to get Arnold to make an appearance and can be found online here.
