We Can Make A Difference
It started as just a post on the Motley Crue SHOUT! Board.
It became an annual event at The Whisky A Go Go in Los Angeles California.
CrueFest, Crueheads coming together for a cause, and we won't stop til they find a cure.
Skylar Lynnae Neil was born on March 26th, 1991. Along with her parents, Vince and Sharise Neil,
Skylar fought the agonizing battle against Cancer that would claim her
life on August 15th 1995. "She Lives In My Heart" ~ Vince Neil

Determined to find a cure for the disease that took his daughters life, Vince Neil got
together with The Lili Claire Foundation, and created the Skylar Neil Memorial Golf Tournament, to help
raise money and awareness for children's cancer, leukemia and AIDS research at a Childrens Hospital Los Angeles.
An annual event where many celebrities and top business and entertainment
executives have returned to help support this important cause.

A big brother's love (A few words from Neil Wharton)
"I was talking to Patti at Badbones (www.badbones.com)
and she asked if I was going to the Cruefest thing. And I said "the what?"
and she told me all about it. When I found out it was for Skylar's foundation
how could I not go? I was lucky enough to get a hold of Shali and Tom and they
asked if I would co-host. How could I pass up an opportunity like that?"
"I'll be involved as long as the event runs. I love this event, and all the Crueheads
that attend. Everything about the day was great. I love everyone's stories and just
meeting the Motley Fans. That right there makes it worth it.
Then you add in the funds going to the Skylar foundation; there's no way I
couldn't go and show my support."

Written For Skylar, By Neil Wharton
If I had a chance to start again, We would be really close friends
Talk and chat about the world, Listen to the songs of birds
Time is short, not for very long, I tried to get close
But something was wrong, A feeling deep inside
So strong its hard to hide, The sorrow and pain that i feel
Reality is hard to grip, When this is so real
I didn't know what to do, When I felt the loss of you
So many emotions rushed to my head, I think of the things we never said
These passed days have turned me blue, You'll never know how much i loved you
They took you away from me, Before I had a chance to see
The things i feel, This Pain is so real
Why you, Why me, Best things in life are never free
But why did you have to pay, when all you wanted to do was play?
