Leukemia & Lymphoma is a fantastic organization. I've done one of their Team in Training century rides, and what an amazing experience that was.

+1 - just did the Tahoe Century with TNT.

And I'll get a donation headed your way shortly!

DMF member donations now total $325! Thanks all and keep it up!!

I noticed something - Paypal payments labeled as "gifts" have NO FEES DEDUCTED!
When making a donation, please click on the "Personal" tab and choose "gift" for the type of payment. We want ALL that is donated to go to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society!

Bump back to the main page.

Donation sent!

Let's get to $500 in DMF donations by the end of the month!!!

Thanks for the bump!

DMF member donations now total $375! Only $125 more to hit that DMF match of $500!! Way to go everyone!

Did enough donations come in yet to hit the DMF $500 match offer yet?

We have a week left.

We are currently stalled at $375. Very close to the $500 match mark!

BUT we are going to be collecting donations through the end of August. I'm confident we can hit $500 by then. The benefit race is September 12, so we have some time. We sent the T-shirt sponsor money plus a little extra to Paul this weekend, and will send the rest at the end of August before the benefit.

I also have not heard back about how to place T-shirt orders, but will ask again.

C'mon folks, open your wallets!

Tonight's bump.

This morning's bump

Rebump!

Thanks for the support all! I really hope we can make it to $500 by the end of August, but either way we have raised a FANTASTIC amount. Paul was really touched by all the donations thus far. Thank you!

I wanted to post an update since there is about one month before the Benefit Race takes place and only 3 more weeks to collect donations. We just sent a second check to Harrison Ringel's family this weekend and assured Paul that more would be coming once the DMF match takes place! He really cant believe how much we have raised thus far and is very grateful.

The DMF donations total is still at $375. I would love it if we could get to $500 by the end of this month to satisfy the max DMF match! If we can get a little closer, I will donate some more of my own money to top it off.

Thanks to all who have donated. It is much appreciated.

I'm holding $25 for a member here...not sure if you have that in the total yet....so perhaps it's 400. that makes 800 total with our match (or 750 if you already counted that $25). nice job regardless of final.

Yes, the $375 includes the $25 you are holding for a member.

Statler · August 11, 2009, 04:45:11 PM

allright. I'll donate $25 so we're at $400.

I'll move it into the DMF account and then send $425 when it's time (unless we have more by then...cough....)
