Fellas,

In another thread I asked you for suggestion on which charity should benefit from the proceeds raised at the Max-Roast at the TAS in October. Well, as it turns out, several Giant's brothers suggested we just do a blanket fundraiser to include, the Max-Roast, online donations, and possibly a silent auction.

I will look into setting up a bank account tomorrow or a Paypal account to receive donations from those who can't be at the TAS. My plan is to combine whatever comes in by mail/online with what we take in at the Max-Roast and possible auction and make a big lump-sum donation on behalf of the Giants members.

Also, remember it's a tax write-off as well fellas.

So what I've done here is set up a poll as to which charity you feel should benefit from the generosity of the Giants members. These are the nominations I received through this thread: http://www.flyinggiants.com/forums/fg260/19752-charity-should-benefit-max-roast.html

I'll let the poll run until September 14th.

If you need a little background on the Max-Roast, you'll find it here: http://www.flyinggiants.com/forums/fg260/19508-mad-max-roast-tucson-shootout.html
