Donations=Sealed Benny Vinyl Giveaway!!!

3days · January 2012

I wanted to thank everybody for the donations, and for doing a really cool thing overall. Lots of people have shown me kindness, but truthfully the credit goes to all of you. It would appear that over $2,000 went to some great causes. I know that many people donated more than the minimum, so I wouldn't be surprised if the number was considerably larger. Thank you so much for that.

Hopefully, we can do this again sometime soon...

Thanks!

Congratulations to DJ253147, the winner of the PJ20 Billboard poster!!!

Congratulations to your move now, the winner of the sealed vinyl copy of Pearl Jam Live at Benaroya Hall!!!
Still waiting on confimation from the winner of the PJ20 Billboard Poster... more to follow...

***Polls are closed, winners have been drawn, more to follow***

***A runner-up prize has been donated as of 01/29/12. The 2nd name drawn will recieve a PJ20 Billboard Poster by MunkOne/Maxx242. Same rules apply for both prizes. Donations previously made for the vinyl will also be eligible for the poster.***

wow... and what a great way to raise money for so many needy organizations.
By pure conincidence just donated to Australias National Jockeys Trust, which raises money for permanently injured jockeys or for the families of those who die from falls there's currently a project running to raise 5 million, but unfortunately the racing ministers 'seem to only be interested in spending money if it will also make money

Just donated to Sentinels of Freedom Here is what the program is all about. Please read and donate. I was the first Sentinel as well.

Dear Friends of the Sentinels of Freedom Scholarship Foundation,
We're very happy to to hear from you and thank you for your support of our wounded and injured members of the United States Armed Forces.
Some of you can do big things to assist us, some can do little things. All of it is good. If you add up the potential results that come from working together it's amazing what we can accomplish by putting the pieces together.
We maintain a as low as possible overhead and use the American Institute of Philanthropy as our guideline. We don't mass mail, sell T-shirts or coffee cups. You most probably won't see us on Oprah or promoting Rock Concerts. As Quite Professionals" we just ask honorably for help in completing our vital mission from those who have the same Ethos as we do.
We believe it's not just the governments responsibility to help our wounded and injured troops but each individual and corporation also has to look at their own responsibility in this national issue.
Since the beginning of this nation we have had men and women, young and old willing to stand up and protect our way of life through their selfless service in our Armed Forces.
They have grown up in our communities, gone to our schools, played on our ball fields, attended our churches. When they come home broken and bent we can do more that say " It's the governments responsibility".
Any educated person can draw a direct line to our quality of life and that of those who serve us in our military. Simply put, it is an undeniable fact that without them we would not have a government, corporations, communities or the freedoms we enjoy today.
The VA and Military do an outstanding job but they simply can't do what we can to assist those who have sacrificed for us when they return home. We bridge that gap.
Your donation in any amount, or your involvemnt in spreading the word about Sentinels of Freedom is greatly appreciated by us and the recipients of this very honorable program.
Thank you and God bless you for your help. Sleep well tonight with the knowledge that these great members of our American Armed Forces maintain a constant vigilance guarding and protecting us as this nations Sentinels of Freedom.

As per the rules, the donation has to be made no earlier than my original post, and no later than midnight central time on February 14, 2012. Glad to hear about people donating, but donations have to be made within the time frame to keep things fair for all.
