One of the refs I work kids rec ball with took up a collection at the end of that group's season last week, from as many refs as he could contact who got games from that assignor. He was asking for $5 from each of us, which would total about $225 if everyone contributed. He said he would take the money and buy a gift card at a "fancy" restaurant for the assignor. I sent him my $5 but I don't know how many others contributed. I'll email the ref in a few days to see how it turned out.
BTW - I told him to buy the gift card at Tony's Taco Wagon.
