Title: Seeking donations (Relay for Life) [COMPLETED]
Post by: dante on Mon, 20 May 2013, 21:09:09
This year I'll be doing a walk to support cancer research.  The date of the walk is on Saturday June 8th.

The amount I'm trying to raise is $100.  93 cents of every dollar goes to cancer research.

As far as I know donations are tax deductible so you should get a receipt online.

Now make it rain!  :D

I used to volunteer for Relay for Life back home. http://www.turnto23.com/news/local-news/the-bakersfield-relay-for-life-is-said-to-be-one-of-the-biggest-in-the-world

Sadly, I didn't get to this year after moving. But a good cause for sure.

This years walk should be interesting since I'll be close to 70lbs lighter than last year.

Just a couple days left peoples.  BTW: In case you are wondering I don't see a dime of this money - it goes straight to the organization.

AFAIK when you donate you are given the option on whether or not you want your name to be shown on the page.  In case that was holding you up also.

Good luck with your run.

Good luck with your run.

More of a walk than a run, which my knees are most thankful for.

Today is the last day I'll be asking for funds.  Although I've made goal I'll try to obtain as much as I can before tomorrow.  Even one dollar ($1) makes a big difference.

Next year I'll be selling tickets for rare keycaps and such.
