    Lol, will do. Another generous offer from another generous BA. I love how you guys are masters of getting around the "rules" to benefit others. Its acts like this that make BA notorious for generosity.

    Sure would be awesome to hit 5k. How far away are we? I will be attending a UFC/Tasting event tonight and plan to promote this Lif to the group in case they don't already know of it. We gotta be close right?

    I'm at work so I don't currently have all of the numbers/donations on hand but yes we are close. I think it's safe to assume we're in the $4,500 range easily if not closer to $5,000. I'll update tomorrow.

    Brad, Another candidate organization might be this:

    http://www.donorschoose.org/newtown

    Understandably, much of the focus has been on the lost children. Six teachers and staff were also killed, and without their actions the toll among the children might have been much worse. So I liked the idea of an effort aimed specifically at the needs of the teachers and students going forward.

    This is an astounding effort by the BA community. Cheers all around!

    I think 6k is an easily attainable goal with almost 2 weeks left to give. Whomevers donation puts us over the 6k threshold will get a nice box from me. C'mon everyone we can do this!

    I'm in. Amazing idea. Nice work, BAs. If this thing blows up again and there is room for more boxes, I'd send a 12-shipper out full of Oklahoma goodies for the drawing.

    Rob,

    Just sent you a BM! Truly thankful for your generosity here. I think 10K could definitely be in reach!

    Update-

    Total donations- 111 BA's
    Total amount- $5,330

    I really don't know what to say at this point that I haven't already said. We're above and beyond what I ever even dreamed of.

    I know I've already said this but I'll say it again. I appreciate the the thanks from everyone but all I did was start a thread for a great cause and give away some beer. You guys are the ones who have made this so successful. Cheers to all of you!

    Truly humbled by this experience of having following this LIF from page one until now. I get goosebumps everytime I see a new post saying "donation made and BM sent". I have shared this page with several friends and intend to share it with more. Thanks to all you awesome BA's out there that have donated and been a part of this. I think 10k is do-able. Go out and tell your friends even if they're are not BA's and lets get some more donations in!
    Slainte!
