Sandy Hook Elementary LIF

Still works.

 

Thank all of you so much. Again, I can't put into words how generous all of you have been. It gives me goose bumps, I never thought I would get this kind of response and its only the 2nd day. A quick update, as of today $990 has been raised for the various charities listed. I will break it all down, how much went to each charity when the LIF is over.

There have been so many donations for beer that its borderline overwhelming. I will post more about this as soon as I figure it out. I will say this for now...

Many of you know GrumpyOldTroll, he has been generous enough to include a 2012 BA Dark Lord De Muerte to the main thank you box! GrumpyOldTroll, thanks again

Thanks to all of you! Will update later

 

Quick update. I'll be pretty busy for the next 4-5 days as I'm sure many of you will be so please continue to bare with me. In about the past 24 hours the have been a total of 49 donations to one of the charities listed for a total of $2,010. I'm shocked, I was hoping for at least a $1,000 and would be extremely happy with $1,500. Thanks to everyone.

It's no secret that BA is a very generous community and it continues to show through the donations, well wishes, etc to help others in a time of need. Most of you have expressed how proud you are to be a part of this awesome "family" of people we have here and I couldn't agree more.

Onto the thank you boxes. I'm working on this. This is my biggest hurdle, if all of you weren't so damn generous!

 

ALERT!!!!

I know this is an inconvenient place to post this but it has been brought to my attention that the original link I posted for Noahs Ark of Hope Fund now takes you directly to Evenbrites (organizer for Noahs Hope of Ark) website. I have emialed Eventbrite and am awaiting on an answer. I do know on the original link there was mention of working on a new website but why they didn't keep the original link I don't know. This link will take you the new website which is also organized by Eventbrite. I'll post anything when and if I hear back from Eventbrite. I apologize for the inconvenience.

I'll start off by saying thanks again and again to all of you. I will keep this to the point. I appreciate everyone's box donations but right now we have 49 total donations to charities, I hope to get to 100. Due to the unexpected large donations of beers, I have decided to cap the thank you boxes at 13-15. After discussing this approach with many other BA's and donors of boxes, I will have the "grand thank you box" and assign numbers to each other box in the order I received them. The first name I draw gets the "grand thank you box", 2nd name I draw gets the 2nd box, 3rd name get the 3rd box and so on. This is about as random yet as simple as I can make it although it sure doesn't feel that way

Each and every box is different and unique. Remember these are other BA's thanking you for your donation which is about as generous as it gets. Here is a rough draft of the boxes. I again apologize for not having more details but I will be busy this weekend and wanted to post something to keep everyone up to date. *BA's not mentioned by name wished to remain anonymous

Grand Thank You box- GI KH, CCB Imp Sweet Stout, Beatification B5, GI Cherry Rye Stout, 2 BBPT5th, 2 BCBS, BA DARK LORD DE MUERTE '12 (thanks to GrumpyOldTroll for the DL)

Seriously...speechless. *Will update when/if appropriate.

 

It really "irks" me that this occurred. I don't want to bother the bros with putting in the new link and taking out the old one so now anytime someone clicks on that link to donate without reading through the entire thread (not that I blame them) guess who's getting BM?

Like I said, I know they were working on a new site but I figured they could have had that link re-direct you to the new site. Oh well.

 

14th box- Alpine Pure Hoppiness, Nelson, and Duet with an awesome 4th surprise from Mister_Joshy
