Breast Cancer fundraiser marred by cheating Ganong


I thought last week's Dooly's fundraiser for breast cancer was going great as members of the community like myself, some radio personalities and others took their turns behind the bar serving up drinks and donating all tips raised to cancer research.
Sadly the festivities were marred Sunday when "celebrity" bartender Nick Ganong cheated his way to becoming the top fundraiser.
After I obliterated amateur drink slingers like The Tide's Mark Downey ($58) and Bill and Tom - WQDY's undynamic duo of spilly servers ("I don't know how much we raised but you killed us, Chuck") I figured I had the top fundraiser title in the bag with my $189 raised on a slow Friday evening.
But with my total as a target, Ganong waited until his shift was almost over before begging patrons to empty their pockets to put him over the top. I wasn't there but witnesses tell me it was shameless. His unaudited total was in the $200 range but I bet his Foxy Ladies and Kinky Pinkies were way less delicious than mine.
We'll have more on this breaking news as it develops.
