My Challenge to AGS

[TheRevSFA]

Good Morning All,

I am issuing a challenge to all of the fine posters at AGS. As some of you may know, FormerPokeCenter is riding in the 24 hours of Booty ride in Atlanta in October. Some you may not be aware that this ride is to help raise money and awareness for Cancer research and prevention. This is a big deal to me, seeing as how Cancer, specifically Pancreatic Cancer, runs in my family.

I have donated to FPC's team. I know Cleets has as well. My challenge to all AGS posters is to donate 10 dollars (or more) to the cause. If this initiative can raise over 2k, FPC is going to have to ride in a Barack Obama shirt of my choosing. However, I would like to see how much we can raise, and have him represent all of the schools who had their fans, alumni, etc donate.

If you donate, on your personal note, please list that this is part of The Rev's AGS challenge.

I'm not one to go trying to raise money for causes. I tend to quietly donate and such, but I feel strongly about this ride, and I hope you consider dropping a bit of coin to help with something that affects millions both directly and indirectly.

Here is the link to Jay's (FPC's) page. If you click on "Support Jay", it will take you straight to a donation page.

Like I said, I have donated. Will you?

[FormerPokeCenter]

Rev, you rock! That's a great post. I appreciate the help. I realize that I'm a prick on most of the political dicussion and on pretty much anything that has to do with Georgia State or the University of Chapel Hill at Charlotte, but what's interesting is both of those are in the heart of Booty Country. Charlotte is where the ride got started and it's a pretty big deal there....It's gaining traction in Atlanta and several worthy Atlanta-based charities, including the cancer wing at Children's Hospital of Atlanta are supported. Though LiveSTRONG no longer directly supports research (because the American Cancer Society does that so much more effectively and robustly) there are research projects supported by the 24 Hours of Booty.

It's a great event. If any of you are bicyclists and interested in riding, let me know. You can ride with us or form a team of your own....

All donations are tax deductible!

Thanks for any help you guys could provide!

[Eaglesrus]

Done

[FormerPokeCenter]

Eagles, you rock! That was awesome! Thank you!

[TheRevSFA]

Done

Awesome. Thank you so much for your donation. Someone rep him since I've got to spread some more lovin around before I can

[AshevilleApp2]

I want to see a picture of the shirt.

[FormerPokeCenter]

Thanks to AshevilleApp2, for his great donation to the 24 Hours of Booty! You rock!

The girl I ride for, Ann Hartline, actually lives in Asheville....She's a local artist and a friend of mine from way back in the day....

[TheRevSFA]

[FormerPokeCenter]

I can wear that without too much pain!

[TheRevSFA]

Maybe this one..they have a chick modeling it but it's unisex

[TheRevSFA]

or if we actually make my goal of 2k from AGS board members and friends..I'll personally buy this one for him

[FormerPokeCenter]

You mean I won't have to wear one that's got his Lenin-esque visage staring off into the distance on it??? ;)

[TheRevSFA]

I could get you the Latinos for Obama shirt if you want....

[FormerPokeCenter]

If you hit 2k, I'll wear 'em all! ;)

[FormerPokeCenter]

The Northwestern Demons raised $1,000 last year, got me in Demon Shirt for the second year in a row and bought back the rights - in perpetuity - to a certain nickname I coined for them about a decade ago ;) I can't ever use that word again ;)

[TheRevSFA]

So if you see a donation referencing the "Dustin Helton Initiative"..it's from one of my account managers

The DHI, I like that!

[AshevilleApp2]

Rev,

I don't know if you are a member, but the Lounge at CS.Com get a fair amount of traffic. You might want to post this over there as well.

[ursus arctos horribilis]

Done. I also moved this to FCSD for the time being to give it as much exposure as possible so keep that in mind with any pics posted and so forth.

[ursus arctos horribilis]

Rev,

I don't know if you are a member, but the Lounge at CS.Com get a fair amount of traffic. You might want to post this over there as well.

You could just quote it and post it over there as well AA2...or I could for that matter. If it isn't up over there I'll od it in a little bit.

[NoDak 4 Ever]

Done.

[McNeese72]

I would never, ever donate to this. ;)



Doc

[MSUBobcat]

FPC, I commend you for taking action for such a great cause xsmileyclapx. I hope you reach your overall goal, and I hope fellow AGSer help us meet the Rev's challenge. Unfortunately I didn't read his first post that well and forgot to list my donation as part of The Rev's AGS challenge in the personal note section :o xbangx. Please include it as part of the money raised by AGS. It would be a shame if we missed the goal because I can't follow direction, but hopefully the AGS community blows way beyond the challenge amount.

[ursus arctos horribilis]

I would never, ever donate to this. ;)



Doc

Your fibbing.

[FormerPokeCenter]

Your fibbing.

He's a damn sand bagger is what he is....he and his wife have donated well over $500 to the cause in the first two years ;)

[FormerPokeCenter]

Wow, thanks to Ursus, NoDak4Ever and MSUBobcats for their great donations! You guys Rock!

[NoDak 4 Ever]

Wow, thanks to Ursus, NoDak4Ever and MSUBobcats for their great donations! You guys Rock!

I figured it was a small price to pay to have you say something nice to me.

[ursus arctos horribilis]

[MSUBobcat]

Wow, thanks to Ursus, NoDak4Ever and MSUBobcats for their great donations! You guys Rock!

No sir. It is you who rocks for actually taking action. Making a financial contribution while sitting in a chair pales in comparision to someone who is actually getting out and doing something for a cause.

[FormerPokeCenter]

Somebody rep him, please....I can't right now ;)

[BisonFan02]

Done and done.

[TheRevSFA]

Somebody rep him, please....I can't right now ;)

Done.

Thank you to NoDak, Ursus, Bobcat and Bison Fan for stepping up the challenge.

[EKU-n-GSU]

I've answered the Booty call!

[TheRevSFA]

That's 250.00 today that I know of. (didn't see EKU on the list but we'll add whatever was donated)

So far I have donated 75 (not counted in that total)

Great job everyone!

[TheRevSFA]

Bump

[ASUG8]

I'm in. Best of luck!

My 'site' name is in the note; best of luck reaching your goal!

[FormerPokeCenter]

Wow! $300.00 in the first day of the challenge, plus TheRev's $75.00 personal contribution and it looks like I'm not as far away from wearing that Teeshirt and getting photographed as I'd like! ;)

The deal that I had with Northwestern, SELA, Sam Houston, et al, is that $200.00 worth of donations gets me in a school shirt for a portion of the ride, with photographic proof that you've got representation at the event! So...same deal applies in this little contest....Just send me a shirt! I'm a 2XL, FYI ;)

Thanks to EAglesRUs, AshevilleApp2, Ursus, NoDak4Ever,MSUBobcat, BisonFan02, EKUnGSU and ASUG8....You guys rock! ;)

[darell1976]

Just donated!!

[TheRevSFA]

Thanks Darell

[TheRevSFA]

Thanks bojeta and lakesbison. Yep.

[bojeta]

Thanks bojeta and lakesbison. Yep.

You're welcome! Great cause! Good luck!!

[AppAlum2003]

haha... you guys said "booty"

[NoDak 4 Ever]

It looks like NDSU only needs another $75 to get a shirt worn on the ride. If we come up with it, I'll buy the shirt.

Come on Bobcat Nation! Not only is this a great cause, but it gives the school exposure in an area where MSU is likely little known. It can't hurt being represented in a different market.

[TheRevSFA]

Bumping this.

Also wanted to thank everyone who donated yesterday. It looks like we made a significant dent in the goal for 2k.

[AppStsGr8]

Thanks, TheRevSFA, for posting this. There's another donation from the App State faithful. When it comes to fighting cancer, we're all on the same team.

[ElonFirefighter]

haha... you guys said "booty"


24 hours of booty. Sounds like a good porno

[asu3peat]

Done...I pay for booty!!!

[FormerPokeCenter]

24 hours of booty. Sounds like a good porno


The first team that I was on, was named - in jest - after a 1992misunderstanding one night in a Harlingen, Texas nightclub - after the club manager tried to kick me, my girlfriend and her two visiting chick friends who were in from Venice, California, out of the establishment...

All three of the girls were decked out in miniskirts and high heels...and, I was weeding out the undesirables who came to try to talk to them....the manager pulled me aside and suggested that i needed to take my "girls" and go work another bar, because he didn't need our kind of "action" in his club. It took a second, but I realized that he was accusing them of being hookers and me being the pimp! So, we had a rather heated discussion, until the owner of the place, who I knew, came in and defused it...Anyway, over time, my 15 minutes of pimpness has become a favorite youthful war story that me and my "working girls" have told over time. One of the girls, Ann Hartline, was diagnosed with a midbrain tumor and is the reason I ride.

So, when we started this little venture, there was only one appropriate name "The Harlingen Hookers"....we only raised about $4k as a team that year. One of my buddies put in perspective for me.

"I can't put that on a credit card! My wife will kill me if she sees "24 Hours of Booty: Harlingen Hookers" on my bill!

So, the next year, we joined up with Team Pirate Treasure ;)


Here's a link to a FB Note, with images, about the first ride and the people involved ;) One of the guys who rode with me, Billy Craddock, is - himself - a cancer survivor and is Doc's (McNeese72 ) brother-in-law....

https://www.facebook.com/notes/jay-gallagher/riding-to-raise-money-for-cancer-research/259359198266

To show you what kinda guy Doc is, he'd already donated substantially to his brother-in-law's ride when he realized that we were involved in the same event, and then he donated substantially to me, too!

Anyway, I really appreciate the support.....I'll post an update to the monetary totals and individual donations in just a few minutes! ;)

[Eaglesrus]

That's a great story FPC, and I really appreciate you giving me the opportunity to support the cause in a small way. Thanks for stepping up and doing the heavy lifting!

[TheRevSFA]

Thank you everyone who has donated. I've also thrown rep to everyone who has donated (incentive for you rep whores?)

[TheRevSFA]

Bump again..I think we've raised somewhere near 500? FPC can give an updated numbers total.

[ursus arctos horribilis]

Hey TheRev and FPC, I got an email last night from Lakes. He wanted to say "Thank you" to you guys for doing this and promoting it here. His father succumbed to cancer and he appreciates your efforts and asked that I relay it on to you...and by proxy to the others that have chipped in.

I hereby succumb to the overwhelming sentiment and cancel my signature.

I think that should shorten his ban.

[FormerPokeCenter]

Okay, after two days, the totals are 15 donations, totaling $460.00.....plus the Rev's earlier $75.00 contribution, pushing the totals to $535.00 ;)

Thanks to ASU3Peat, EaglesRUs for a SECOND donation, AppStatesGr8, LakesBison, Darrell1976, Bojeta and Tom Hoeffer, the McNeese play-by-play guy! ;)

All of you guys (and girls!) ROCK!

Not bad AGS. Lil over 1/4 of the way to the goal. Will be out Rockin' the Bakken for the next 2 wks and Verizon coverage (and therefore internet) is sketchy so likely won't be able to keep up on this. How long do ppl have to complete this "challenge"?

The ride's not till October ;) Later in the year there are some donation "Primes"...which feature the opportunity to win stuff....We never know when Booty is gonna offer a prime..but...my team is gonna finalize the details for a prime of our own very, very soon ;) I'll relay the details as soon as I get them...

It'll be a chance to win something REALLY and UNIQUELY cool...and useful ;)

[TheRevSFA]

Bumping this again.

Someone donated with money earmarked so FPC doesn't have to wear an Obama shirt.

I, personally, would like to see him in one, given his spectacular debates in the lounge and such.

We are more than 25 percent of our way there. Let's get some more in.

[Ivytalk]

I'm in. Lost my Dad to cancer about 14 years ago, well before "his time." Good luck!

Got a $50.00 donation in just now from a contributor in Wilmington DE, but with no clue as to the screenname.....anybody wanna fess up so we can thank you and rep ya???

Moreover, do ya wanna put that in the "Don't wear the O Tee shirt" column? (Please!) or does this go in the O-ther column? ;)

[FormerPokeCenter]

Ivytalk, was that your donation?? ;)

Oh no..anything on AGS goes into my initiative.

Quit trying to fudge the numbers :D

[Ivytalk]

Ivytalk, was that your donation?? ;)

Yes, and I listed "Ivytalk" for recognition purposes. At least you got it!

[Ivytalk]

And I wouldn't dream of making FPC wear the Obummer t-shirt!xlolx

[TheRevSFA]

And I wouldn't dream of making FPC wear the Obummer t-shirt!xlolx

Eh, I just needed to give people another initiative to donate.

[FormerPokeCenter]

You must spread some reputation points around before giving them to Ivytalk again....


SEE???? That one goes in the "No O" column!

[TheRevSFA]

Yeah...so listen..I donated 20 bucks...to reoccur each month...

Better chalk that up to the t-shirt thing

[FormerPokeCenter]

Yes, and I listed "Ivytalk" for recognition purposes. At least you got it!

I saw it when I went and looked at the scroll of donors on my page, it just didn't show up in the notification e-mail or in the participant center!

Thank you! You Rock! On both the donation and on not making me wear the shirt! ;)

[FormerPokeCenter]

Yeah...so listen..I donated 20 bucks...to reoccur each month...

I just saw that! Crap!...er.....I mean...THANKS! You rock Dustin! Seriously! ;)

A ducking stool I could support. Making someone wear an Obummer t-shirt violates the Eighth Amendment!xrulesxxsmiley_wix

Any money from this poster goes in the NObama category, too. :D

You're missing the main points of this

1) it's for Cancer Research and Awareness

2) I offered to help FPC to raise 2k of his goal. As members of AGS, we should help other members out...and did I mention it's for Cancer Research and Awareness?

I'm just having a little bit of fun with The Rev on the Obama thing, just like he's having a bit of fun with me on having to wconsear that shirt....however, I DID get a donation from a conservative Demon fan who wants his in the NObama category, so I think now we're up to $225.00 against the shirt! ;) Personally, I hope it escalates into a bidding war because that just means more money donated!

Rev's right about the ride, it's for Survivorship, Awareness and Research....the tee-shirts, etc., are just to make it fun...

On a more somber note, if you've donated and you'd like me to memorialize somebody that you've lost to Cancer, please drop me a line and let me know your loved one's name. I keep a roll of people that I ride for on me when I'm on the bike. They're with me on the route the entire time. If you want to send a picture, please do. I usually put up a Cairn of sorts with photos and short biographies of the people I ride for right in front of my tent. A lot of people do that to personalize why we ride...

Last year, one of my favorite aspects of the ride is that a hurricane cancelled the Columbia Maryland ride and my team invited members of another pirate themed team down to ride with us. They were the second largest team in the organization. They all elected to participate in a Triathlon that weekend to honor one of their teammembers who succumbed to cancer two weeks after their ride. I was asked to carry their team's list of honorees, which was over 400 people, as I rode the loop. I was living up to my obligation to wear a Northwestern Demon shirt at the time I was asked to do that....I took a photo of me and our team's captain in front of the other team's list, which is what I gave to the Demons as provenance that I'd lived up to my end of the deal....anyway....if you lost somebody to cancer, please let me know and I'll include them on the list of people that I ride with...it's a token gesture, I know, but it's pretty powerful as you're thinking about it on the ride.....

But you on the other hand are missing an opportunity to turn this into a battle between the republican and democrats. The two most dick measuring groups of people in this country.

Are you out of your damned mind or do you not see the big picture here? Does he wear it or doesn't he? The money tells the tale. C'mon brother, you've seen enough your *** up close, pull your head out of it.:D

What a fantastic idea, pitting school against school, or conference against conference to see who can raise the most money?? ;)

Here's an idea....this year, since you've gotten the ball rolling here on Cancer, then let's go with it...next year, try MS or the American Heart Association...or the Special Olympics...or...whatever charity works....figure out ways to make the fundraising and competition fun.... ;)

Okay...the original deal was that if you got 2k, I'd WEAR the shirt.....I'm not gonna try to change that....instead, what I'd like to do is to make the same offer to the conservative side of the house....2k in donations there, and I'll wear a Romney shirt during the ride...you guys specify the miles...I believe you and I agreed on 100 miles in the Obama shirt if you raised the 2k....a deal's a deal....if enough Romney supporters raise 2k, I'll wear a Romney shirt for the same same number of miles....that means, I'm gonna be riding my *** off! ;)

I ride the parade lap in the team jersey, then I usually change through the other shirts based on the commitment....at sunrise on Sunday, I generally switch over to the yellow jersey (assuming I raise enough again this year!) for a bit, before switching back to the shirts I'm committed to wear....This year, it could get UGLY for me on the amount of miles I have to put in to meet the commitments! ;) A century ride (100 miles) generally takes me about 7 hours....so....200 miles would be about 14 hours, probably closer to 15-16 factoring in fatigue and bathroom breaks.....then there are food breaks, naps, etc...so..here's a chance to really wear my *** out and make me work ;)

Drop it to 50 a piece. You have commitments to honor.

I have 3 donations/causes that I am strongly for

-JDRF, since my wife is a type 1 diabetic
-ACS
-American Heart Association, since my father in law died of heart issues.

I'm actually going to walk (I think) in PurpleStride in November, in memory of a friend that passed away in May...My wife and I might do JDRF walk in Houston..not sure if we are doing it this year or taking a year off

I have 3 donations/causes that I am strongly for

-JDRF, since my wife is a type 1 diabetic
-ACS
-American Heart Association, since my father in law died of heart issues.

There ya have it! The DHI can get involved in ALL of those ;)

[AppAlum2003]

Wow..another thread for Republicans vs Democrats? Why didn't I make this a NDSU or App State challenge then?

We get to be the elephant thing!

[AppStsGr8]

You're missing the main points of this

1) it's for Cancer Research and Awareness

2) I offered to help FPC to raise 2k of his goal. As members of AGS, we should help other members out...and did I mention it's for Cancer Research and Awareness?

Oh, I'm not missing anything. My father died with cancer. My husband is a cancer survivor. I was simply stirring up, hopefully, a donation race. I would love for FPC to raise a bazillion dollars for a cure to be found for cancer so no one has to ride again. My donation was purely from the heart.

[FormerPokeCenter]

Seriously, thanks to everybody who's donated! The Booty Site is pretty cool...you can set up recurring donations, even for small amounts...$5.00, $10.00, whatever to run for a long or as little as you want....

Here's a smattering of pictures from last year's ride...

Team picture....Team Pirate Treasure raised over $80,000 last year, with little or NO corporate matching funds. If you work for a company that matches, please consider applying for matching funds....it's a great way to leverage your donation....My personal fundraising was $7,800 and some change, but I had some late donations come in after the deadline that pushed me to over $8,000...and I pushed some donations over to Doc's brother in law who was a few dollars short of a a major fundraising goal ;)...For the last three years, I'm right at $15k, I think....

Versus commentator, Bob "Bobke" Roll, who normally provides the color analysis for the Tour De France, and who was Lance Armstrong's first training partner when he began his comeback attempt after cancer surgery....We made Bobke an honorary Pirate, and he rode some of the way in his jersey with us...

Any guesses what FCS city he started his comeback in??? ;)

https://sphotos.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-snc7/305895_2311957771339_2043766402_n.jpg

Here's some of our teammates riding with another guy you may recognize, who we also made an honorary Pirate...

https://sphotos.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash4/320113_10150346742209728_711019464_n.jpg

I donated the Pin back to our bike team and you can expect that it's going to be a prize in a fundraising competition a little bit later in the year....I'll post details, but suffice it to say, it'll be the only Pinarello in the world with Lance Armstrong's signature on it ;) He couldn't sign it directly because it's not a TREK, but....he could sign THIS for us at The Ride For The Roses in Austin ;)

https://sphotos.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash4/318331_2456873496889_2067361725_n.jpg

And, we got Bobke's signature on it, too!

Here's a pic of the names of the honorees from the Krased Mauraders, a Pirate based team in Columbia, MD. After a hurricane washed out there ride, we invited them down and I ultimately go to carry their honorees around the course....I was wearing my spiffy Northwestern shirt at the time! ;)

And I truly truly thank you from the bottom of my heart

[FormerPokeCenter]

Thanks to Alpha Griz 1, for his $51.00 donation to the ride! $60.00 bumps me into the fundraising lead in Atlanta, with a $1.00 advantage over the second place TEAM ;)

You guys rock!

AG!, I appreciate the support!

[TheRevSFA]

it's a shame you can't count the total of the 20 dollars forever donation


that 240 would help you out immensely.

[FormerPokeCenter]

I'm gonna call them.....because - usually - those recurring donations like that are tallied all at once....they must have something going on with their software....I had two friends last year do similar donations and the total showed up as soon as the first one was made...

Occasionally, they have glitches...my favorite Booty Chick in the office down there will get it straight ;)

[TheRevSFA]

[FormerPokeCenter]

Got a great donation from Anthem, Arizona today that I'm pretty sure had to come from AGS. But, I didn't see a screename on it....Anybody wanna claim it so we can thank you and shower you with Reppies??? ;)

[AshevilleApp2]

Bump

[FormerPokeCenter]

The Total AGS contributions so far, counting both the Rev and Cleet's initial donations from a few months back, stand at $726.00 from 18 donors (this doesn't count the recurring donation that the Rev set up. The accounting on that should be resolved shortly......The Rev and EaglesRUs both donated more than once!

You guys rock! That's way cool!



18 donations, $726.00!

Additionally, there were two McNeese fan donations totalling about $50.00, but I didn't throw those in the pot with the DHI....

[TheRevSFA]

That's awesome! We are near 40 percent of the goal.

Let's keep up the good work.

Thanks to everyone who has donated to this.

[ursus arctos horribilis]

Yeah, I didn't know anything about this when you guys started it...glad you came up with the idea. There are one hell of a lot of good people in this community and it's pretty damn cool to see this. Proud to be a part of it.

[FormerPokeCenter]

Ursus, LOL, I'll be happy to ride wearing an AGS shirt if ya got one! Remember, 2XL ;)

[FormerPokeCenter]

Got another donation today as part of The Rev's challenge, from Pineville, NC,, but no screenname! Who wants to fess up so I can thank you and we can hit ya with Reppies???

That would be me, I am very happy to pitch in. Like nearly everybody these days, it is a cause close to my heart. Until I saw this thread, I had no idea 24 Hours of Booty was done outside of Charlotte. I heard about it through a co-worker who did the ride in '07 but didn't realize it had made it's way throughout the country. Best of luck on the ride, appreciate your dedication!

Mike, thank you! It's a great cause and I appreciate your support! You ROCK...!!

[FormerPokeCenter]

I'm up about $1500 since last week, with slightly more than half of that coming from AGS! The Rev is still about $1200 away from seeing me in the Obama Tee-shirt!....

Northwestern (who've all donated before the Rev's challenge), I think App, SFA and Montana are over the $200 mark, each, so I'll be happy to wear appropriate shirts for a portion of the ride....I need a 2X ;) I think NDSU is really close...I'll post a list and update it as donations come in...

It's really cool the way you guys have all chipped in!

How long do we have to reach the goal?

Right at 3 months....

The Atlanta ride is October 13-14, 2012 in Sandy Springs, GA...

[FormerPokeCenter]

Ursus has upped the ante in TheRev's AGS challenge. Ursus is going to count any donation to my ride as a donation to AGS and the donors will get a Donor Bar on their profiles...

Pretty cool! In addition to his direct support for the ride, Ursus says he wants to make sure that donors to The Rev's challenge get some recognition, too!

How cool is that? A donor bar, a worthy charity AND, it's tax deductible!

[Ginsbach]

As a poor graduate student, I don't have a lot of money but I contributed what I could. This is a great cause - I know too many who are fighting against cancer right now.

[FormerPokeCenter]

Sorry but I just have to say this...........and here is a pre-emptive FU to anyone that doesnt like it.

AGS has 7500+ members
has had 2400+ online at one time and right now has 337 online.

19 of you have donated and that is awesome but the rest of you that cant throw $5 or $10 bucks at this are simple f-ing pussies. Come on you selfish bast*rds, that is giving up 1-2 coffees at Starbucks this week.

Dont wash your car or truck this week
Eat out one less day
Stop buying 5 hour Energy for 3 days
Dont rent movies at Redbox for a week.
Buy one less DVD this month
Give up your haircut for a month
Buy one less 6 pack this week
TJ, give up getting your gold teeth polished, a few 4 Lokos or one less night at a strip club
Grizo give up your AARP magazine subscription
Ursus stop buying lunch for one Friday
SHSU fans give up one clinic visit because of all the same sex experimentation you guys are doing in college.


Chip in and help out a good cause the world needs more people that care and less that wont step up and help someone in need. Its a hell of a lot more gratifying than a cup of coffee, a movie or haircut

Quit being pussies and step up your game.

[FormerPokeCenter]

You cannot give reputation to the same post twice......


Damnit, Ursus, fix that! That's a bangin' post! It needs to be repped more than once ;)

[ALPHAGRIZ1]

I might start negative Rep ing people on here...............Grizo first...........19 members donating is a joke. There should be at a minimum a couple hundred. Not too mention the 5 other boards I posted this challenge on.

[TheRevSFA]

I have donated...50 dollars, 25 dollars...and I have a monthly donation at 20 bucks a month for a year... So I've broken 300 when said in done.

I'm not saying donate 300 but 5 bucks, 10 bucks is no big deal.

**** it's tax deductible

[FormerPokeCenter]

A big thank you to Wildman, of Kalispel, MT, for his great donation to the 24 Hours of Booty. Alpha's throwdown on TheRev's challenge is paying off!

Thanks to Wildman, AlphaGriz and TheRev, you guys rock!

[ALPHAGRIZ1]

Wildman is a good dude and he is friends with a Griz friend of mine in Kalispell that has cancer. Both are good people.

Keep up the good work FPC!

Still found a way to donate so there aren't many excuses out there that are acceptable. Unless you agree with cancer then I guess you have a point.

[TheRevSFA]

Hell repping AG1 felt good

[FormerPokeCenter]

Man, I'm having a hard time keeping up with the donations today, KNUTS and Sam_Kats followed in Wildman's footsteps this afternoon and chipped in great donations today'! You guys rock!

I think that gets us up to 23 donations and $856.00 ;)

[FormerPokeCenter]

Just got a donation in from "ilovethecats," from Bozeman, MT, that I think was in response to an AlphaGriz challenge on eGriz! Very cool!

24 donations, $881.00....

I'm okay with Alphie calling me a hillbilly, bitch, loser, douche bag, etc but he will NOT call me a pu$$y & me not take action.

Thanks for the donation dude, you are one of the good ones.

Thanks to everyone for the donations and those helping FPC raise money, he seems like a good dude and he should be riding with $20k+ under his belt when this thing kicks off.

[TheRevSFA]

so you need to donate more to FPC...especially because this could happen....

Come on fellas, kick out some $$$$ for a worthy cause this should be well over $20k by now with all the eyes that have seen it on various message boards and Facebook.

I also want to say that any women that read this site should immediately ask their husbands for permission to donate, then do so...........of course when you are done clicking submit you can get back to making sandwiches and your ironing.

What's going on here? We're petering out like Hume Cronyn on Jessica Tandy.

[ASUG8]

I'm in for a little more. We have family history with prostate, breast, and colon cancer all of which need their collective asses kicked. I bet nearly everyone on this board has some friend or family member that has fought a battle with this disease, so give some cash or get out and do what FPC is doing. Every dollar helps - don't let this beat more people.

[FormerPokeCenter]

Thanks to ASUG8 for a SECOND donation to the 24HOB this year! You, sir, Rock!

[ursus arctos horribilis]

Was I going to get a name list FPC?

And, Thanks to NoDAK4Ever for HIS second donation to the 24 HOB this year! I gave you a very nice shout out on FB! And, if you've noticed, I haven't said anything derogatory about you since your first donation! ;)

Thanks for you support! We may not see eye to eye politically, but I'm glad we agree on the need to eradicate cancer! Thanks NoDak, you rock!

For instance "The RevSFA" comes back as "no user with that name". Doesn't even give a list of names that are close or smilar.

So is that part of TheRev's challenge? Is it tough to post the running total for TheRev when you update on here FPC...if it's a lot of work don't worry about it but was just looking for a way I could easily recognize people throwing in on his challenge.

[FormerPokeCenter]

29 donations for a total of $1231.00....additionally, McNeese75 donated $100.00 for the third year in a row today, but I doubt it's part of TheRev's challenge, since he's not an Obama fan! ;)

All totaled, AGS posters have donated well over 2k so far...but, some of that has been McNeese, SELA and Northwestern posters who've serially donated through the years...

Look. If we break 2500 I'll get FPC to wear a Western Carolina shirt

Congrats to TheRevSFA...hopefully our little challenge here had an influence, but he completed his first 10 mile ride recently...

Not too shabby a start!!

And, his second monthly donation kicked in automatically over the weekend! But it's already been counted in the totals ';)

Believe me, if they hadn't pulled that out of the store, I would have bought one of those.

I am also disappointed at my inaction at the early stage of that.

[Sam_Kats]

I got nothing...also disappointed but for another reason.

Ummmmm....this might deserve it's own thread, but check out the below. I didn't try to order it, but you can order "National Champion" gear now for the ladies.

What's our total?

[TheRevSFA]

I think we were in the 1,200 dollar range. FPC?

[FormerPokeCenter]

We're at $1231. on 29 donations...that includes TheRev's recurring donation of $20.00 per month...it doesn't show up in my total, but I know it's there and I'm working with the Booty folks to get that fixed....

Not too shabby at all! There's still time to get me in the Obama shirt! ;)

[FormerPokeCenter]

Thank you to EaglesRUs for his THIRD donation so far this year! Awesome!

Thanks Eagles....You ROCK!
