Fundraising for the American Cancer Society
« on: June 13, 2008, 02:04:24 AM »
As we did last year, me and my gang of gaming friends are participating in the Relay for Life fundraiser for the American Cancer Society.  If you're of a mind to help support a good cause, need a tax writeoff, or are just feeling generous, feel free to drop by the link below and throw a few nickels in the kitty!  The donation will applied in the name of our fundraising team, and maybe help us beat out those big corporate teams that outdid us last year. :)

Jim is also auctioning off a bunch of signed UK-edition Dresden books!  All the money goes to the ACS, so bid generously.  Unlike Madrigal Raith, they do accept PayPal. :D

For those folks who have already donated, thank you very much.  This is one big frickin' dragon, and it'll take every bit of help we can get to bring it down.

For those who haven't, hey, consider it.  Cancer is serious business, and we're all scarily likely to meet it someday.  What goes around, eh? :)

The first auction just closed at $450.00!  Thanks to all that participated!

I understand there will be two more auctions to follow, so keep an eye out.  Keep those donations coming!  I'm so proud of you guys for rallying to support such a needy cause.
