Thanks for the bump reminder. I kept forgetting to actually take care of this. All done now.

Thought I would bump the thread and remind people to give if they can. The StarMegaDO raised nearly $5000 for charity. Perhaps we could do the same.

Good for FT for promoting another good cause! It's easy to donate when you know you're in such esteemed company!

Allright, its Saturday November 14th. To date we're received $1235, which means we're still $765 short of our goal. Still a fantastic number though, but nowhere close to the $4k raised for charity on the *A MegaDO charter in just a few hours!
Due to FT going wonkers for the past day or so, and that COinsider has given me more time for this, we're going to extend the giving until Friday, November 20th. If you've thought about giving, please do so now for this great cause!

Thanks for the bump. I usually take care of this stuff on weekends, but I wanted to make sure not to forget!

Thanks for bringing this to us at FT... so many small, but great organizations exist that just don't get the media like the big giants. I personally like giving to smaller charities like this one. I hope you reach your goal.
