pdxmonkeyboy · Wed Jun 27, 07 8:11 pm

sooo, can you give me an idea of how much the top donators have brought in?

Garret · Since 07 Sep 2006 254 Posts Portland Obsessed

You can see how much the top participants in each of the charities has raised by going to the page for each charity below

The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society http://www.active.com/donate/kb4c-leukemia

The John Wayne Cancer Foundation http://www.active.com/donate/kb4c-JWCF

The National Childhood Cancer Foundation http://www.active.com/donate/kb4c-curesearch

The only problem is that some of the donors have given checks to the participants and they will not appear in the count until the end-- so don't count on the tally-- it likely is low. If you want to make sure to win, kick some butt and raise a ton of dough Very Happy

I might have to sell my current quiver and buy new just to support SS/Naish Laughing

I'll just give to the KB4C cause now, but it will be in my mind when new equipment is needed.

whew... this fund raising is a LOT of work.... I would have never guessed.

any chance we can divide up the prizes for say the top 3 fund raisers?

Mark · Fri Jun 29, 07 9:20 am

I also agree.

tinyE · Since 21 Jan 2006 2004 Posts not really an XTreme Poster

I should say... I am still planning on being the top fund raiser... but as hard of work as it is... I think my followers should be rewarded as well! Very Happy
