    Hey, this is ending today--if anybody was on the fence or forgot about it, make sure to
    get your donations in.
    Great cause and some great beer up for grabs.

    Yup, last day to make a difference everyone! Every single dollar we send here is going to make a huge difference. AND you have great chance of taking home some beer in the process!

    This one is wrapped up, many thanks to all those that donated beer and/or money, seriously awesome guys. I've been swamped with work and will have final totals soon, hopefully tomorrow. And once I get the bottles amassed, I'll do the drawing for you guys so stay tuned!

    @TheBeerAlmanac it looks like people have donated a lot of money and beer for the cause. I would like to offer up a stickee Monkee as a prize too. I can ship out if someone chooses it. Thank you for putting this together for such a great cause.

    Alright guys, sorry I've been tied up with a starting a new business and managing a 7 month old baby at the same time so I didn't get around to updating the total until now. I was crossing my fingers that we'd hopefully even get close to hitting $1000, but we ended up hitting $1270! And that's only in a span of 2 weeks with nothing but a post on this (and one other) meager forum! And every penny of that is going to give water to the dehydrated or feed the malnourished or medicate the ill. These people are literally fleeing for their lives and every single one of you that donated money or beer has helped them directly, that may not have sunk in yet but it's pretty awesome.

    I'm not allowed to give updates on the mission for OPSEC reasons, but once the cavalry is hopefully home safe I'll update what I can. These guys know there's a very high chance they will be killed helping these people so if you pray or meditate or just have positive thoughts, I don't care, PLEASE DO IT.

    On a lighter note, I still have a couple beers to pull in from from generous contributors then the drawings will commence! I understand that charity isn't about recognition but I really don't care. I'm proud of you people for doing good so I'm going to call you out. Thanks to every one of you guys for your donations!

    This isn't the first time I've said this, but I really love how I know the people behind such a big chunk of those names, either from SWTFYW (from whence I know OP) or from other BIFs. Makes me proud to hang out with you gentlemen!

    I was thinking the same thing. I have only been active on BA for a short time (long time trolling). Cheers guys. Keep up the good work.

    I know this is over but felt compelled to donate after reading about this organization, along with watching that video which brought it all full circle for me. Thanks @TheBeerAlmanac for bringing something like this to the forefront.
