Hi CoinTalkers I am Rick's wife Cindy, he asked me to watch for this and to post the final result he prepared. Congratulations on the success of your efforts. Cindy
Thank you Cindy for posting the results! Pass on our prayers to Rick for a quick recovery. Thank you to everyone who has contributed. Without all of you, this would not be possible. But this effort is far from over. We still have two full weeks to go!!!! Lets try and get to $2500!!!! I know we can do it. We still have donations coming in on a daily basis. Also, many members have pledged donations and we are still waiting to hear from them. Stainless has been collecting some awesome prizes and many items are still up for grabs. Anthony will have more detailed info in the coming week, but it is fair to say that in the $50 or less donation category, the top spots are all up for grabs. Even in the over $50 category, the top spots are still up in the air. Soooooo lets get to it!!!! Donations are being accepted by check or paypal or any other way that works for you. 100% of the funds raised is going to the Shriners Organization. What a terrific organization they are. Please look here for more info....http://www.shrinershq.org/ Thanks again to everybody!!!!!
I'm working on putting up an item in the Open forum for "email/PM auction". The ammount that it sells for will go towards this fundraiser. Speedy
$2165 is money in hand as of now!!! Way to go everyone!!!! Stainless has a bunch of donations and money he has raised that he is sending me which should put us close to $2265 and I have a bunch of members who are mailing me their donations which should put us over $2300!!!! Wow! Please note that there are several members who are selling items in the Open section of the forum to raise money for the fund, so please take a look over there and see if you could use what they are offering. I will be putting some items on there as well, so keep your eyes posted. Thanks again gang!!!
The folks at CoinTalk are to be commended. The Shriner’s Hospitals for Children is a worthy cause. My dad was a Mason, my mother Order of the Eastern Star. My nephew was severely burned as a child and spent many months at the Boston Burn Center. My parents would be happy to know that their coins supported this fundraiser.
Thanks a bunch Mike for updating the new thermometer. $2500 is the new goal. I know we can get there. Lets do it gang!!!! Anything counts....$5, $10, $15....It all helps. Just make sure that whether you make a donation to me or Stainless that you get your info to me so I can compile a list for the Shriners Organization. I spoke with them today and they were just thrilled about us doing this. Thanks everyone!!! Joe and Anthony
