OK, heard back from some ppl and our goal is $5K. If we can raise that, there should be at least another $10K from the industry!

let' s keep this rolling!

Why? They can't just donate like the rest of us? They need special goals to be met before their tight asses can help a guy out. F-them. Donate what you can and stop playing games when some one needs it.


Lets really help this guy out. Anyone have a contact for marketing at Gildan. Have them kick in some money and put this guy on a commercial. If this is not giving back to the community what is.

Actually that was my idea. I thought it would give us an incentive to do better. They are matching what we raise up to certain amount.  This way they are not committing to thousands of dollars while we raise few hundred.

Please don't hold this against them as one of the companies is matching up to $5k. That is very, very generous and far from playing games.

Yes, we've won our share of awards, and yes, I've tested stuff and read the scientific papers, but ultimately take everything I say with more than just a grain of salt! So if you are looking for trouble, just do as I say or even better, do something I said years ago!

This is different then how it was first said, or I misunderstood it. If they are matching up to $5000 then they are going to donate no mater what the total reaches (max $5000 each). What was said is they are not donating unless we reach $5000. That is very different and why I got a little pissed. I would like to go on the record that i am taking back my F-them and giving them all a personal thank-you.

Sorry about that, companies that committed so far will donate no matter what, but more we raise, more they will kick in. 5 or so companies are in so far, I expect another 5-10 to join in. If we raise 5k the matching will probably bring in another $10K. That's what I was trying to say.

Quick update

Keith's had no idea what was going on and he called me this afternoon to say thank you. He went out to the doctors and when he got back there were all these emails from paypal out of nowhere! He said he was getting depressed as no help was coming from his inner circle and just as he was getting down ppl he does not know have stepped up!

Thank you very much to everybody who helped out. Please send what you can, even $10 will help! Unless you post here no amounts will be disclosed as we all do according to what is available to us.

WOW, and I complained about a few inches of water in May. That looks terrible.

Will donate as much as I can. Good luck rebounding. See you in AC next year.
