CONTEST (is over) Congratulations to Visc, and thanks everyone.

[quote name='spudypresto']I'll chip in the $15 to put us over the top.[/QUOTE]Well all right! That puts us at $200 in total CAG donations (pending one check that I'm expecting to arrive in the mail in the next day or two)

So now donating puts you in line for a $25 gift card to the store of your choice (as long as there's one near me) as well as a bunch of games and/or movies. The prize package just got a bit more..... :drool:

Thanks very much for the donation, Spudypresto!
 
$75, I wish her the best of luck on the walk.

Having family members that survived the disease and the recent sad news of a friends mother who will not survive through the end of next month due to it, I realize how much this disease impacts life everyday.

People who are on the fence about donating should realize that at any moment someone they care about may be affected with this disease and more often than not the end result is sobering. While a new gadget may seem more important and eyecatching, in the long run even that small donation can make a big difference, and could be the deciding factor in saving your or someone you care about's life.
 
WOW. A great big thank you to Clue! I know I have been MIA as of late but I am still keeping up. This means alot to me because I had become so involved in it and to see people donating so much for such a good cause is amazing. Much love and good fortune to those who have donated and those who have supported this effort. Thanks to CAG's, the large sum of money needed to enter is just that much easier to attain.
 
Wow! An outstanding donation from a brand new CAG!

I salute you, sir.

Welcome to CAG, and know that your generosity will be returned to you sevenfold.

Wow! Thank you so much. That is extremely generous of you. You're absolutely right about even small donations making a big difference. It all adds up.
 
Just realized I never thanked rowe for the donation here in the thread. I did send a pm, but I like to say thanks in the thread as well. I'm always really pressed for time when I check the thread at night before I go to work.

Sorry for the oversight. The donation is much appreciated.

There's still the rest of tonight, tomorrow, and Friday to donate and enter the contest. If you've been thinking about it, now is the time to do it!
 
[quote name='joevan']as I tell my bill collectors - the check is in the mail :rofl:
(actually its been in the mail since monday ;)[/QUOTE]
Thats what you said about my pot pal!

I know few will put that together, so I'm prepared for the DEA to show up on my door. You too should prepare yourself Joe.

Got your check yesterday. Thank you for the donation.

We're currently at $270 donated, and there's one more check I'm waiting on that I expect should come in the mail today, which will put the total at $290. If we could get a flurry of donations today (I'll be drawing a winner sometime TOMORROW) there's an outside chance we could push the total over $400, which would make the gift card in the prize jump from $25 to $50.

Even if there are no more donations before the contest ends, I'm amazed and very grateful that CAGs helped to raise so much money.
 
My plan is to draw the winner tomorrow around 2:00 pm (EST), so there's just about 19 hours left to enter the contest. I work nights, so 2:00 is about the time I should be getting out of bed tomorrow.

If you've been thinking about it or planning to donate later, there's still time, but it's starting to run out.
 
OK, this is my final bump. I'll be back this afternoon to draw a winner.

I just want to say thanks again to everyone for all the donations and support. It's all been very much appreciated.
 
Just checked in to see if there were any final donations. The contest is now officially closed. (But still feel free to donate just because it's a good cause :) ) I'm off to put the names in a hat and draw the winner. I'll be back in just a few minutes to post who won.
 
And the winner is......................(drumroll, please).....................

Visc!!

Visc has won a $25 gift card to the store of his choice (provided there's one near me), and 5 games/movies, one each from any 5 of the 7 categories listed in the OP.

Thank you very much to everyone who generously donated, and to everyone who helped with this contest through bumps, kind words and moral support. I appreciate it more than you know.
 
[quote name='spudypresto']The anticipation is killing us![/QUOTE]I know, I'm sorry it took me so long. I wanted to triple-check my list of donators, confirm everything...... and I have two young children running around :lol:
 
so has she gotten close to her goal yet?

oh and congratulations Visc. I'm just happy to see some CAG's have a compassionate bone in their body and not all about the greed. Granted I didn't give the world but I hope it helps.

Granted I didn't give the world but I hope it helps.[/QUOTE]It absolutely helps. When it comes to charitable causes like this, it's not about giving the world. Look at it this way- if every person who looked at this thread gave what you gave, she would have reached her goal several times over.

I've been trying to get in contact with her today to see where she's at in pursuit of the $1800 goal. Her Avon webpage total is up about $200 from what it was when I checked it earlier this morning, and currently stands at $1263. I believe she still has checks that haven't cleared yet to add to that total, and I think there was supposed to be a fundraiser going on for her at her daughter's school this past week, but I'm not certain. I'll post again when I find out a definite total.
 
Well that bit of news certainly put a grin on my face after getting home from work. Thanks for good news, and thanks to everyone else for the congratulatory comments.
