I just got a really nice thank you letter for my gift and the letter was NOT a form letter as far as I can tell. I was wondering if there would be any acknowledgment. Kudos to them.

I received a letter as well. I wasn't expecting it and the first thing I did was to examine if it was a form letter -- it wasn't. It really made my day. 🙂

Come on folks, it's not to late to donate. 🙂 Sure, Christmas is over, but that's not going to matter to kids that are stuck in the hospital. 🙂
 
Just read this thread and I'm amazed at the generosity of many of you. It's a great sight to see. I wish I had the extra money to donate as much as many of you. Hats off to the mods for the matching donations! I'll take a look at my bank account tomorrow and see what I can spare. Would love to find something local to donate to.
 
Lots of great donations peeps, lets get some more, we still have more to match!

<edit>
bad spelling as usual
 
Our final match. Thanks everyone who donated!

For a forum where there's over 175K registered users (many of them apparantly millionaire playboys), having only 36 + mods/matching taking part in the donations is kind of weak. I think we can do WAY better next year!


Those who did take part this year, great work, and thanks to the mods for jumping in with some wicked nice matching 🙂
