    Donation made and BM sent. My office is right next to an elementary school and all week I've been watching the kids run by going to and from school, trying to make sense of it all and wondering how I could help. The donation is a small gesture, but hopefully it does some good in the lives of those families in that town. Thanks for pulling this together.

    Donated and emailed the confirmation. I thought I was done shedding tears over all this until Anderson Cooper did a montage of all the victims the other night while "Amazing Grace" played in the background. Boys do cry.

    All the generosity on this thread is what makes BA the incredible community that it is.

    Lol, you people are insane. Please, no more boxes for now. I have plenty to work with for now and and I think 15 boxes is alot. If we get over 100 total donations to charities, I'll keep this in mind offer in mind. We're at about 53-54 now. Just 5 a day and we'll be there, easily. I really do appreciate it though.

    This just proves that there are plenty of good people who want to help, sometimes they just need someone to point them in a direction.
    Thanks for doing this, and giving me a direction.

    Quick Update...sadly, the donations have dropped a lot today. A total of 5. I know BA slows down on the weekends, it's during the holidays and alot of people are traveling but be sure to pass the word on to your other BA friends. Sometime in about a week, I may (big may) try to start a new thread with my initial post, the working Noah's Ark link and the box layout so everything is on the first page.

    I'm thinking if the boxes are listed front and center it may help. After all, that's why all of you donated them. Right now, people have to read through 3 pages to see it. Just a thought. I'd like to do whatever I can to make this as successful as possible. Thanks to all of you!

    This sounds like a good plan, though you shouldn't be too crushed by the slowdown, either. It's just the nature of the beast for a LIF like this to be fairly front-loaded, kind of like a blockbuster movie's opening numbers versus its 3rd week in theaters. I'd say if you're getting 5-10 donations a day still, you're doing pretty damn well.

    I know, I know...yesterday was a positive beat down :slight_smile:. We have already exceeded my expectations and my new goal is 100 total donations. If you guys didn't spoil me so quickly I wouldn't have had to raise my expectations :wink:. In all seriousness, I'm more then proud of everyone's display of generosity.

    Beer Karma is real! Tonight I won a Freetail "gift basket" consisting of La Muerta '09, '10,'11,'12 and a Three after donating money to a raffle for freetail bat conservation. I rarely win anything, I'm so happy right now :slight_smile:
