Make A Wish Foundation

[Gypsiyee]

I don't know the head guy at MAW, I'm doing it with a tournament with AQS who then sends the money, so I have to talk to that guy there =p

I hope that makes sense ><

Working on it =) I imagine it shouldn't be a problem at all

[The Kizzy]

Copy of your check will work, Minrott

[Minrott]

You mean a check returned after cashing? Cause I don't get them.

[The Kizzy]

Nope, copy of the written check, and then a copy of your statement if you are worried about tax purposes.

AND you can order any check to be returned to you, although it would be easier to just get a receipt.

[Gypsiyee]

ya I don't get those either.. I can just look at a scanned copy online banking though

I sent an email, waiting to hear back

[Eziekial]

Put me down for .25 pin and a reciept

[Gypsiyee]

Still waiting to hear back about receipts!

Anyone who wishes to sign up, if you could PM me your full name so I can scribble you down on the list, that would be fantastic =)

I gotta say I'm overwhelmed by how much people are willing to help out, you guys are great

[Gypsiyee]

So the lady heading up the whole deal for the company that I'm doing the tournament with left for the day.. I'll get back to you both as soon as I can

**My CFO at work just told me that for tax kinda stuff just a generic receipt is fine, and that I know I can do - if you guys want one directly from the company though (I mean for reassurance purposes, I know trusting people over the intraweb can be tough) I hope to find out what I can do about that on Monday

[Gypsiyee]

one more note too

pleaseplease pleaaase if you change your mind about your donation let me know before next Friday

if I have a name on the list and the money isn't here by the 31st.. I have to pay it, and I can only afford so much QQ

[Narrock]

I'm glad to see you're doing this Gypsiyee. The make-a-wish foundation is one of my favorite charities, and I already give to them.

[Yamori]

The Make a Wish Foundation is a pyramid scheme, perpetrated by Dracula and his night slaves.

Gypsiyee posts a pic of herself in a tacky bowling shirt while chewing a Wrigley's spearmint with her mouth open.

I sent pm for $40,, do the above & i will double it!

Priceless!

[Gypsiyee]

lol I'll get as many pictures as I can, but I don't own a tacky bowling shirt!

as for all the people PMing about when I need the money by.. like I said in the first post, I have to turn it in by the 31st - since obviously it would need to be mailed, I'd think try to get it in the mail by the 22nd, I'll post the scores on the 19th

Just please remember if you have doubts about your donation and can't send it for whatever reason, let me know before the 19th as that's when I have to turn the donor list in. If you want to send your donation by the 19th that would be great too so I can already mark you as paid (that'll only work for the flat donors though)

Again, you guys are fantastic.. I can't believe the response I've gotten. <3!

[kaharthemad]

hmmm can we use paypal?

[Gypsiyee]

You can, but for people's personal reassurance I'd say it's best to go with a check, because the paypal would have to come to me, and I would give cash to them whereas the check can be written directly to the foundation

I just don't want people to be weary about where their money is going

[mojo]

bumpity bump

[Gypsiyee]

awe thanks mojo =)

big day is tomorrow, I did TERRIBLE practicing last weekend! I averaged a 105 for the night =(

[The Kizzy]

I have a feeling that you are going to get a 300 game. I just know it. Just concentrate really hard. You can do it.

[Captain Insano]

Now I doubt I'm going to get much feedback here at all, but I figure it's worth a shot - please don't turn this into a flame, I'm just trying to help people! Some of you have known me for years, and since I consider a lot of you true friends just the same as my RL friends, it doesn't hurt to try!

Next week, I will be participating in an annual bowling tournament to benefit the Make-A-Wish foundation, and I need sponsors.

The Make-A-Wish foundation has been around for 25 years – the organization focuses granting wishes for children with life-threatening illnesses. You can read more about them at http://www.wish.org

This is the 7th Annual tournament, and the second one I’ve participated in. A quick summary of how the sponsorship works – when you sign up, there’s a space for a Flat donation or a Per Pin donation. There, I'll fill in the amount you’d like to donate depending on which type of donation you’d like to make.

The sponsor list is due by next Friday (August 19, the day of the tournament.) However, donations aren’t due until the 31st.

If you choose to donate per pin, I’ll send a PM on Monday saying what my score was.

If you have any questions or wish to sign up, PM me and I'll give you mailing info or however else you'd want to donate (paypal or whatever.) Checks would be made payable to the Make A Wish foundation.

If you think I'm absolutely retarded for making this post, don't be mean about it, just don't donate =b But, if you're feeling generous (or if you don't give a shit about the kids, but you want a tax write-off!) I'd greatly appreciate it.

LOL legalize W33d yo!1

[Gypsiyee]

Good news for everyone's wallets! I did horrible ><

I got a 112, a 107, and a 90.

For you 10 cents a pin people, that's $30.90

25 a pin, 77.25

I think I pm'd all of you my mailing info. If you need it again, I'll PM it tomorrow. Thank you guys again, you're awesome - I really appreciate it!

[mojo]

Tis not how you played, its that you did & helped those in need
hope ya had fun. now post those pics of ugly shoes & foam beer!

[Eziekial]

What about sending send a bit more? Is that ok or will you pocket the difference

[Gypsiyee]

Send whatever you want, Ziek - I can't pocket a check =b I wasn't expecting to drink last night, but when the white russians are free.. the pins started flowing together =b

A side note, if people are concerned with mailing the check too early, you can always post-date it to the 31st.

[The Kizzy]

check sent

[Gypsiyee]

Thank you Kizzy! =)
