    Matt -

    I've been a bit of a lurker for a while, and this is a great charity and a wonderful idea.

    I'm proud to participate.

    The check will go out on Wednesday morning.

    As all can see by the beautiful green bar, we have reached our initial goal.

    I had no idea that the members of this site would come out in such force for this amazing charity, but I should have.

    You guys have astounded me and if you ever think to yourself..."wow, Matt gives a lot to this place"...just think back about what you have done, all that you have given as well. This is a beautiful moment for me and I can't tell you how happy it makes me.

    So...each person who has donated so far will be receiving my thanks and more. This thing is only month old and already phenomenal. To each of you who have given or will...my eternal thanks.

    We are really just getting started here my friends.

    We're discussing that right now--I'm literally blown over by the response.

    Obviously we are going to continue to collect as much money as possible between now and May 19th, its just all about how the total is displayed at this point.

    The fund raiser itself is really just beginning and we have some wonderful stuff coming up for it.

    Everyone who has donated so far is in a very nice place at the moment for sure--in the heart and in relation to the big giveaway

    Default Our initial goal and the new one...

    **this thread to be merged later with the existing Fund Raiser thread**

    Hey Everyone--as you can see, this site and destroyed our initial goal for the Haven Foundation. Something like this shows that we are not just going to sit around and gripe or discuss...we are going to use our combined resources to try and make a difference.

    Its an amazing thing as I have said and we should all be very proud of ourselves.

    But we can't stop here...on no. We must push on and raise as much as we can to present a substantial contribution to the Haven Foundation on May 19th.

    Just so you all know, the money collected so far is going to be transfered into an interest bearing certificate of deposit at my bank. That way we can make money on the money between now and then.

    We are also getting ready to launch new and interesting activites, games and giveaways to continue our steam rolling path to our new goal of $2500.00

    Lets make this one happen too

    The bar at the top will now be changed to reflect the new goal. Those of you who have already donated are automatically entered into the major site giveaway and I will post details on that when they become available.

    I love the new goal. One suggestion:

    If there is any message that goes along with the donation to Haven, I think you should use the $1000 goal as a benchmark.

    Example--if you raise $2500 you can say that you attained 250% of your original goal (did I do the math right? lol).

    I'm impressed with all the generosity.

    Matt -

    If it wouldn't be too much trouble, could you please let me know when you receive my donation check for Haven?

    Just want to make sure it made the cross-country trip safely.

    I have just procurred another signed 1st/1st of Duma Key, and it is on the way to me now.

    One of these just sold on ebay yesterday for $350 plus shipping!

    I am selling my copy for $300 shipped and insured, and $50 of that will go to this fund raiser.

    PM me if interested!
