Damn, the time flies.
|
Rockin' Doc Nov 22 2007 09:32 PM |
I'm definitely in again. I'll decide on a charity in the next few days.

American Heart Association

Gave this some thought overnight and decided to designate the Lymphoma Research Foundation as my charity in memory of my mother in law. She was a lovely lady whose time in this world was far too short.
|
SteveJRogers Nov 23 2007 06:08 AM |
I'm in, I should have a charity posted over the weekend.

My grandmother just died of kidney failure, so put me down for The American Kidney Fund. (http://www.akfinc.org/)

soupcan Nov 24 2007 09:15 AM |
I'm in.
|
Edgy DC Nov 24 2007 12:29 PM |
In for forty.
|
A Boy Named Seo Nov 24 2007 01:12 PM |
Steve, tell us a bit about your charity. I can't seem to find a thing about them online.

[url=http://dove-givings-foundation.idilogic.aidpage.com/dove-givings-foundation/]Try this link[/url] Its a charity arm of the company that I work for. Well not so much arm as just a foundation that one of the partners created. They do accept private donations, but its not a seperate organization or entity in the true nature of the term "organization" and "entity"

I really would rather not contribute to Steve's charity if I am paired with him, I've spent 10 minutes looking at the thing and can't find anything that looks like a charity, sorry.
|
DocTee Nov 25 2007 08:25 AM |
It's like Costanza's "Human Fund".
|
Benjamin Grimm Nov 25 2007 08:34 AM |
|
I feel the same way. I suggest that Steve select something else.
|
SteveJRogers Nov 25 2007 08:36 AM |
Okay, here is another one then.
|
metirish Nov 25 2007 08:52 AM |
Excellent choice Steve, and you get a free CD with your donation, thanks for changing.
|
A Boy Named Seo Nov 25 2007 08:57 AM |
Thanks, Steve.
|
Kid Carsey Nov 25 2007 09:12 AM |
I'd like to change my charity to fredscharity.org. He doesn't have a web-site

HAHAHAHA!
|
themetfairy Nov 25 2007 10:49 AM |
I'm in.
|
Edgy DC Nov 25 2007 11:43 AM |
That's a good first post.
|
Willets Point Nov 25 2007 01:19 PM |
I suspect that isn't the first post for Met Fairy.
|
SteveJRogers Nov 25 2007 01:47 PM |
You mean that Squidey is no more?
|
Edgy DC Nov 25 2007 01:55 PM |
Squidey?
|
SteveJRogers Nov 25 2007 02:13 PM |
Or is it Squiddy? Giant Squid Like Creature.
|
Kid Carsey Nov 25 2007 02:14 PM |
SteveJStalker is confused. Again.
|
Gwreck Nov 25 2007 11:35 PM |

I'm in.
|
A Boy Named Seo Nov 26 2007 12:18 PM |
I drew that one last year, sharpie. Very cool organization.
|
G-Fafif Nov 26 2007 12:29 PM |
Great thing. Count me in.
|
A Boy Named Seo Nov 26 2007 12:38 PM |
|
Wow. Good choice, man.
|
John Cougar Lunchbucket Nov 26 2007 12:52 PM |
I bailed on the NYPL and nominate WPLJ's rocknrollin Father Bill Ayers' World Hunger Year instead.
|
Methead Nov 26 2007 01:46 PM |
I'm in... and my charity is the Electronic Frontier Foundation. Sure, they're not healing the sick... but it's still kind of important.
|
Nymr83 Nov 26 2007 02:09 PM |
|
i feel like we're moving away from charity and into advocacy groups here...
|
metirish Nov 26 2007 02:13 PM |
I agree, brings politics into the arena, for me at least.
|
Benjamin Grimm Nov 26 2007 02:44 PM |
|
Excellent point.
It's listed in the category "Public Benefit : Advocacy and Civil Rights"
|
Centerfield Nov 26 2007 02:50 PM |
My charity is, of course, the Starlight Starbright Children's Foundation. The Foundation looks to improve the quality of life for seriously ill children.
|
Nymr83 Nov 26 2007 03:09 PM |
if the advocacy group stands then you can send my donation to American Life League, i'll give you one guess as to what they advocate for.
|
Methead Nov 26 2007 03:25 PM |
Well OK then.
|
metirish Nov 26 2007 03:37 PM |
That's a wonderful charity Methead.
|
Nymr83 Nov 26 2007 03:45 PM |
good choice
|
A Boy Named Seo Dec 02 2007 01:55 PM |
Couple more days on this if anyone wants to jump in, then I'll draw names.
|
Rockin' Doc Dec 02 2007 06:12 PM |
Have we decided on a dollar amount for the contributions? Depending what we decide, I may wish to "double dip" with an alter ego.
|
A Boy Named Seo Dec 02 2007 06:48 PM |
I think we're rolling with $20.
|
A Boy Named Seo Dec 06 2007 03:52 PM Edited 2 time(s), most recently on Dec 06 2007 04:41 PM |
Alright, here's the draw, kids. Below you'll find your name and an arrow pointing the the charity you drew. I've supplied links to the charity and to that organization's page at Charity Navigator if they have one.
|
DocTee Dec 06 2007 03:59 PM |
Where am I (and where's my charity)?
|
themetfairy Dec 06 2007 04:05 PM |
I just made my donation in Lorcan's honor.
|
A Boy Named Seo Dec 06 2007 04:09 PM |
Time out. I screwed up. Sorry Doc. Lemme fix and make sure I didn't skip any others.
|
A Boy Named Seo Dec 06 2007 04:33 PM |
Okay, looks like yours was the only one I missed. Sorry again. It was the Costanza joke that fouled me up, I'm pretty sure.
|
DocTee Dec 06 2007 04:37 PM |
Livestock dealin' is fine by me. I'll take the Greyhounds, you can take the heifers.
|
A Boy Named Seo Dec 06 2007 04:38 PM |
Right on. Thanks for rolling with it. I'll update the list.
|
Mendoza Line Dec 07 2007 03:59 AM |
I've been busy, and I completely missed this thread. Great idea.
|
SteveJRogers Dec 07 2007 07:14 AM |
Just sent my 20 bucks in, now working on getting my company to do a charity match.
|
soupcan Dec 07 2007 07:32 AM |
Done and feeling warm all over.
|

Donation sent to the American Kidney Fund, great charity Yancy. Thnaks themetfaity for the donation in my sons name :)
|
Benjamin Grimm Dec 07 2007 01:48 PM |

As promised, since I drew a four-star Charity Navigator charity, I upped my donation to $50.
Mets Guy, the Michigan chapter that you linked to was no longer accepting donations! (Their donations page had expired.) So I made my contribution to the national headquarters. Hope you don't mind.
|
Edgy DC Dec 07 2007 02:15 PM |
Forty dollars has been donated in honor of John C. Lunchbucket, Jr. I think I get a CD and a chance to meet Michael McDonald, so it's win-win from where I sit.
|
John Cougar Lunchbucket Dec 07 2007 02:36 PM |
$50 would have gotten you some of Harry Chapin's unsmoked pot. Thanks!
|
Methead Dec 07 2007 02:42 PM |
Contribution made.
|
A Boy Named Seo Dec 07 2007 03:29 PM |
Very cool of Edgy to double up and Yancy to plop $50. And Mendoza made 22, maybe the biggest group yet.

FANTASTIC!!! And very generous. My sister-in-law is battling the disease -- successfully, knock on wood -- and it is always so moving to participate in the race and see both the survivors and the people who have lost loved ones. Once again, the CPF blows me away. Great work, guys.
|
metsguyinmichigan Dec 07 2007 03:36 PM |

|
Rockin' Doc Dec 07 2007 05:05 PM |
A $30 donation in honor of Gwreck has been made to the Make A Wish Foundation.

Serious about the livestock talk. $20 at Heifer.org can buy either a flock of chicks, duck, geese, a share (?) of a llama, or a share of some rabbits. I wussed out and went general donation. Not everyone's into foie grois.
|
A Boy Named Seo Dec 07 2007 06:30 PM |
Rockin' Doc goes above and beyond, too. Cool stuff.

Just after posting that, I hopped into the shower, where the radio played that above track by OAR, and encouraged me to buy that CD. I'M ONE STEP AHEAD OF YOU, MR. RADIO MAN!

Thanks Michigan - it truly is a great cause.
|

A few boxes of nails for Meathead and Humanity.

KC doubles up again this year. Awesome. And thanks, Greg. I've seen first hand the good stuff they do with each and every donation.

I'm done (and reamarkably not last) good charity Doc.
|
A Boy Named Seo Dec 14 2007 12:20 PM |
Thanks, man. Just a couple left and we'll let this drop. I think coobster mailed hers off this week. Is that right?
|
Edgy DC Dec 14 2007 12:32 PM |
Anybody talk to Centerfield?
|
soupcan Dec 14 2007 12:33 PM |
I'm sensing a Willets Point / Elster88 standoff.
|

I just donated $50 to the American Heart Association. I'm playing the "new parent card" as my excuse for being such a space cadet lately. Thanks for your patience.

A Boy Named Seo Dec 21 2007 09:21 AM |
I think we're just about done here. Elster and CF, let me know if you've already gone and I missed it, or just let us know when you're done.
|
Elster88 Dec 30 2007 07:51 PM |
I made my donation today to Partners in Health. Sorry for the delay and thanks for setting this up Seo :-)
|
A Boy Named Seo Dec 31 2007 10:38 AM |
Cool, thanks, Elster. I sent CF a PM to find out what up there. Check in if you would.
|
Centerfield Dec 31 2007 10:52 AM |
Sorry. I didn't know I had to check in after making a donation.
