    Lots of activity this past week. As soon as the little one takes a nap and I shovel the driveway I plan on a huge update with a few new boxes that have been added!

    Chicago is an amazing city! There is so much energy and culture. No need to buy me a beer, but meeting up for one if I am in the city would be great! Thanks for the BM that started the momentum! I am truly excited to see @RayOhioFelton achieve his goal this year!

    Also a reminder if you post the link and directions for donations on your facebook/instagram/twitter/dorm room corkboard you can earn extra tickets if people donate and put your BA Name down as the instructions in the first post direct.

    Thank you again for all of your support and I can not wait to give away some awesome beers to some awesome people!!!

    The PA box includes beer from not just @Houser and @zekeman17, but from @nesarebad and myself as well. It's also not a finished box, just a work in progress (and also is expected to grow to include other BAs as well)

    Ray, your team page needs some updating. You only had a target goal of $2,000 listed but I thought it was $10,000. Anyway, saw your were close to 2K but not quite there, so I helped you get over that initial hump. Good luck with everything, really hope you crush your goals for this year!

    I saw on the main page that it has $10,000 listed. Not sure why the home page was off, but oh well. Happy to help out and support a good cause.

    That wasn't too hard. I've been going back and forth on what box I want to put together. A sacrifice for me personally is giving up some barrel aged beers. They are my favorite! So here's my box. Most of these are my last bottle of that particular beer, that particular vintage, or both. I hope whoever gets this enjoys barrel aged beers! All beers listed are the latest vintage unless noted.

    BA Blackout Stout 12, 13, 14, 15
    Backwoods Bastard
    KBS
    Black Note 12
    BA Dark Apparition
    BA Brick Kiln
    Central Waters BBBW
    Central Waters BBS
    Wulver

    Pretty nice 12 pack right there! I hope it helps Ray!!

    Just made a donation. Thanks to @blue-dream for the heads-up. Hoping to get with my fellow Texans and put together a Texas or Belgian box for the cause. I'll keep you posted.
