    Wow...5k.

    For all of the negativity I've seen on here lately (real negativity, not ball-busting), this is very cool to watch.

    10 days for 10k!

    We've had about 2 donations in the past 24 hours. Hopefully things will pick back up after New Years. Speaking of...Happy New Years to everyone!

    Don't forget that if you get the donations in today you can write them off on 2012 taxes. Means you can donate a bit more then you thought. That is if you itemize

    I know what you meant but just to make it clear I don't get anything, everyone donates directly to the charities. It should also be how much THEY have gotten and how much WE have donated :wink:

    But don't downplay your role either. Whether it was just a spur to do something someone had already thought of but just didn't get around to or maybe they heard the news but then it slipped to the back of their minds as daily life and their own troubles took over to the (possible) few who just wanted to try for some beer, the fact that this thread exists played the largest part in the donations. While it's the contributors who deserve a TON of praise, don't forget that you do too.

    Feel good cfh64, you done did an awesome thing right here.

    Just in case anyone is wondering, donations have slowed to 3 in the past 24 hours. Be sure to let other BA's know what we're doing here and encourage them to donate :slight_smile:

    Donation made and BM sent. This is an incredible thing that was started. A great idea and freaking amazing participation. Im not too active on the trading boards (not at all- yet), but I'm glad I ran across this last night. Cheers to cfh64 for starting it and Cheers to everyone who has participated in it. This is one pretty awesome community.

    I donated $10 to the Newton Parent Connection via the website. If I was supposed to do anything special, I was not aware.

    *Edit another BA user agreed to send me something I really wanted and instead of asking for anything in return, suggested that perhaps I make a donation. I did, it feels good, and you don't need to consider me in the drawing to win anything, as I'm already getting something I want

    We have to be inching closer to that 6k threshold. Remember that the person who's donation pushes us over 6k will get a box from me.

    This is a pretty incredible display of BA generosity. As a relatively new father (see pic on left), I can't fathom what the families have been going through. I'm thankful for guys like Brad and everyone else who donated.
