We have until 1041 PM tonight! Looks like a tight race between two great charities. All the accounts, a special email address for the Paypal and a system for logging the checks is setup and ready to roll. Kinda exciting!

Don't forget, this will be a conglomorate-type of fundraising drive. The sent in donations, and the proceeds from the Shootout Roast as well. I bet we can really send the selected charity a healthy sum. Can you imaging if even half the FG members sent a dollar? WOW! We can really do some good here.

A huge **THANK YOU** for everything you did here Dave, and an additional big thanks to Craven and 50% for all the pushing they did to get the votes by keeping this on the front page.

It was a great race to come up with the winning charity. All the charities on the list were extremely worthy of our attention, as well as I'm sure there are many others. I'm sure there are many FG members that can afford $1.00, $5.00 or maybe even $10.00. I'm here to issue a plea to those members, please take the time to donate...Your donation is important, they all count, they all add up to more help for this well deserved charitable institution that is there to help the children of soldiers that have given their life to protect our way of living. The soldiers have made the ultimate sacrifice, maybe we can make their families life a little easier.

So c'mon FG brethren, dig deep...let's see what we can do!!!

Thanks for listening.

And here is my previous challenge to all our FG members. I will be donating $100. I challenge you to match me. Match me or up the ante' if you can. Like Boulder said, all donations of $1, $5, $10, $20, or more will be greatly appreciated and will add up to a sizable amount if everybody takes the time to donate. Everything will help and will be going to an awesome charity. These childrens' parent gave the ultimate sacrifice. Let's show them how much we appreciate it with a great big donation from the FG brotherhood.
