    Winners have all been notified. Thank you all again so very much for all of your contributions!

    I just tallied up the total amount, and we raised $1,190 ($1015 sent through paypal and $175 sent directly to the fundraising site in the link on the first page). I am going to bump it up to $1250 total, so I will be transferring $1075 to Kelsie's fund by the weekend (I'd like to complete the process on all of the prizes first).

    Thank you all, this could not have happened without you. We finished a little short of my $1,500 goal, and the Monaldi family is still well short of their $10,000 overall goal for medical bills, but this will certainly go a long way.

    Again, thank you all very much!!!!

    Congrats! Glad all your time and effort went to such a good cause. At least this puts a dent in the medical bills!

    Do yourself a favor and be you online. Anonymity plus audience often equals asshole.
    Try not to be one. Make mom proud.

    Hi everyone!
    So I just made the full donation to Kelsie's fund account. Again, thank you all so much. To all winners, if you'd like to post pictures when you receive your prize, please feel free to do so right here. I honestly think the mystery of what you'll receive makes this even better.

    Also, a few people emailed me over the past week with a good idea to try and do something for Kelsie for Christmas. I don't know what kind of Christmas Kelsie will be able to have, and the money certainly will help with the medical side of things, but she is still a 12-year old girl, and deserves to celebrate Christmas like any other kid.

    Hopefully she will receive some great news soon (her family is hoping for a confirmation of remission around 10/22), so a great holiday season would be icing on the cake. I'm open to specific ideas, but the main one I received was a Secret Santa-type deal. Maybe find out some things Kelsie likes, spread that out among those who want to contribute, and put a fairly cheap spending limit on the gifts. I don't know, ideas are welcome. If you have any ideas, shoot me a PM.

    Yea, that's the same poster but not the one from this raffle. Mine had a lower number I believe, and it was not sent to Georgia.

    Got home today to a package waiting on my porch. Came in and opened it and found the signed chicago poster inside. Could not be happier. Thanks so much to jeremy for the awesome prize and for organising such a great raffle for such a worthy cause. Pearl jam collection is now complete. If a second raffle gets going I encourage everyone to get on board and to help out with what they can. Thanks again.
