Cunning Runt Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 As I sit in my dry, comfortable ofice, I cannot help but think of ways I can help and it seems that way is likely monetary. Aside from a personal contribution I am making to the Red Cross, I have asked our league to forego a portion of the entry fees that would have otherwise been paid out to the league at season's end and make an additional contribution to the Red Cross. This is truly the national disaster of our lifetimes and I am profoundly saddened by what happened and even moreso by the aftermath. I would ask all you huddlers to join me and have your league donate a portion (pick your number) of your league's entry fees to the relief efforts to a worthy organization of your choosing. God Bless America and I pray that things improve in a hurry. Thanks, Russ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vet Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 (edited) We did the same thing in my local. We always collect an extra fiddy from everyone and donate it to a charity - usually a local one. Went to the Red Cross this year.

Skilly Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 A guy in our office has some relatives who lost their home down there. We took up a collection for him so he can drive down and pick them up. We raised about $400. It's a small gesture, but one I'm sure he appreciates.
