(SAN DIEGO AREA FOOTBALL FANS ARE STEPPING UP FOR BRIAN THOMAS)…THE BRAWLEY UNION HIGH SCHOOL WILDCAT DIED FROM INJURIES SUFFERED IN FOOTBALL PRACTICE BEFORE ANY GAMES WERE EVEN PLAYED THIS YEAR. A FOUNDATION IN BRIANS MEMORY HAS BEEN SET UP AT SUN COMMUNITY CREDIT UNION. CONTRIBUTIONS HAVE BEEN COMING IN, NOT ONLY FROM IMPERIAL COUNTY, BUT IN SAN DIEGO AS WELL. IMPERIAL IRRIGATION DISTRICT DIRECTOR RUDY MALDONADO ATTENDED THE EAST LAKE/MIRIAM FOOTBALL GAME IN CHULA VISTA FRIDAY NIGHT. MALDONADO SAID THERE WAS A LOT OF TALK ABOUT BRIAN AND THE FOUNDATION. DONATIONS WERE BEING TAKEN THRU-OUT THE NIGHT, AND MALDONADO SAID THE GUY WHO WON THE 50/50 DRAWING THAT NIGHT DONATED HIS WINNINGS TO BRIAN’S FAMILY. SIMILAR REPORTS ARE BEING RECEIVED THRU-OUT SAN DIEGO COUNTY.
