Let's dig deep for St. Jude's!!
« on: May 21, 2007, 10:48:00 AM »
Donations are still accumulating, and we are on the brink of new territory for this years St. Jude's auction.  But everyone's help is still needed to put this one over the top!  

Whether you are a sponsor, a frequent poster, or more of a looker, we need your help!  Think hard about anything you may have to offer as an auction item and list it on the St. Judes' forum.  To get there just click the yellow banner on the top of the PowWow page.  

We are only a week away from the opening bids, so do what you can to help make this year the best ever!  And don't forget - all those great items will need bidders too!  Break into the piggy banks to get all your nickels lined up to drive up the prices!

Cash donations are glady accepted also. We all pray we never need a place like St. Judes, but if you ever do it's reassuring to know it's there.

That's great Ian!   :notworthy:   Plenty of guys around here will be more than happy to try to take it off your hands!

If anyone has something they would like to list, but not sure how to do pictures I would be happy to help.  Just list the item as pics to follow, and then forward your pics to me.  I'll post them for you when the auction opens.

I couldn't agree with Whip, Vermonster and Iron Bull more: everyone's help is needed! Donations of items and cash are gladly accepted and every penny counts!

I hope at least half the members have a Mason jar with at least $6 in it! What a cash donation this would make; over half way to the goal. Remember, it's all for the KIDS!!

My wife and I had the good fortune to visit St. Judes this past March. While we were not able to tour the hospital, we got to see the museum, Danny Thomes memoral gardens,and gift shop. We were told that it takes $75,000 in donations to run the Hosp.every day and the Hosp.runs on donations only. Donate what you can and bid as you can. Lets see if Trad gang.can run St. Judes for a day. Some pictures( I hope) from Danny's place.

I always was a fan of Danny Thomas, and his daughter later. I also always was in awe of his work for St.Judes, and, again, Marlo's later (and now). What a pleasure to see Bob T.'s post - thank you so much!

Take it to heart folks - if you think, "Oh, a penny, or a dollar, won't help or even be noticed,"  think again, please THINK AGAIN!!!

I just counted 17 new listings today alone!  That is picking up the pace guys!  :thumbsup:   If we could do that number every day between now and when the bidding starts it would add 78 more listings.  Let's go for it!

Make that 18 (at least) , Whip - I just added anugger un.

Ya got that right, stabow!!!

Check 'em out, folks -They are staggering.

We could use some more small stuff for us "lite-weights-but-wanta-helps" - SO, if you have even the inkling of an idea of something you could add - Please do not hesitate. Got extra feathers, throw 'em in the pot - a used hat that is still usable - a sweater you can't stretch over yer belly no more - a 1955 hunting permit from Timbuktu - a - well, you get the idea. Maybe something funny!

25 new listings so far today alone!  There is still plenty of time to get something up there.  Can listings be added even after the bidding begins?
