I'm in too but with a more modest $20 contribution. The wife just doesn't understand this kind of stuff... oh well.

Robert J. Yates · #6 08-09-2005, 04:06 PM

What is there to not understand? Its tax deductable just like church or any other charity. Thanx though - everything helps.

It could be that my $500 Garmin GPS was stolen out of my unlocked Jeep with the top off last night and she's p.o.'d at me because I didn't want to put the top on and lock it up as she asked me to earlier in the evening.

Robert J. Yates · #8 08-09-2005, 04:17 PM

I'd be ****ed at you to Jerry - nothing for you for the next month eh

i cant quite match your $100 at the moment, but went half way.

chef · #10 08-09-2005, 04:32 PM

didn't quite match, but i did send in before you posted

Robert J. Yates · #11 08-09-2005, 04:49 PM

Hey - its only a friendly challenge guys. Its all good and I'm sure the BRC will be appreciative of whatever amount it is that we send them

chef · #12 08-09-2005, 05:17 PM

i'm taking it pretty serious...when i was running errands i was looking out for bums to jump for change cup collections.

TObject · #13 08-09-2005, 05:21 PM

$425.00 so far, in less than 24 hours.

Great start guys!

Iceman · #14 08-09-2005, 07:00 PM

just made a contribution

Thanks for the fool proof Paypal linking Sergey

mrblaine · #15 08-09-2005, 07:48 PM

I am going to donate. But, I am going to do it in a manner that will hopefully plant the seeds of future involvement in Land Use issues.

I will buy gift memberships for 15 people who want them. Someone can chime in with some interesting ways of accomplishing this as my creativity level is about nil having been consumed by a little cage building.

Tumbleweed · #16 08-09-2005, 08:47 PM

Blaine, I would be glad to take one of those gift certificates of memvership to Blue Ribbon. Right now my thinker is kaput-14.25 hrs today following 13.50 yesterday at work.

chef · #17 08-09-2005, 10:03 PM

Perhaps a recent picture of candidates holding a bag of trash on a trail or doing maintenance of some sort?

Desert Fox · #18 08-10-2005, 07:22 AM

Sergey,

Just mailed my check to you on the way to work. You should receive it Friday.

Very happy to contribute to the Blue Ribbin Coalition! What was the total JeepBBS donation last year?

Matt

Robert J. Yates · #20 08-10-2005, 09:32 AM

Close to $1600 dollars Matt - it was a very awesome display of committment. One of the boards' prouder moments IMO.

blkTJ · #21 08-10-2005, 12:42 PM

I'm in but must wait until later in the month to know for how much.

Stu Olson · #22 08-10-2005, 07:23 PM

Joe Dillard · #26 08-13-2005, 05:14 PM

I recall last years 1st Annual JeepBBS BRC fund raising event! It was a pleasure to be a part of it & I'll be contacting Sergey next week to add to the already great start!

Git 'er dun.

Hackle · #27 08-13-2005, 07:56 PM

Great thread I could not go for the $100 right now but I did join BRC and send and additional $50. I was at the DC OHV Summit and BRC did a very nice job setting this event up and supporting those of us that went. They are well worth the money spent.

Is there a way to send $ directly to the BRC but get it acknowledged that it is part of the Jeep BBS donation?

I'd like to donate directly but I would like it to be considered part of this fund raising effort.

donating through bbs is donating directly.
it is just as tax deductable, and the money can be trusted to go through.
why the need to donate directly?

no slam... just curious.
