Contest donations...

[brewmaster15]

Hi all,
In this thread I will keep a running tally of cash contributions towards our Challenger contest...When I receive a donation to this contest I will list it here.... I will not list the name of the donor unless they ask me to.

These contributions will be used for all aspects of this contest (cash prizes, trophies, awards etc.) I will determine how they are to be used though I will try and honor requests in that matter.

Contributions may be made me by Paypal at simplydiscus@comcast.net (This email is different than the one we use for contributions to the forum.

Information on the contest itself is here...http://forum.simplydiscus.com/forumdisplay.php?254-Third-Annual-Hobbyists-Contests-2012-Discussions-and-Information..

Thank you everyone,
al

Please note... I occasionally receive contributions to the forum itself. If you do not tell me that your contribution is for the contest and use our other donation address, I will assume its for the forum's general fund.

Thanks,

Al, how about donations of "things" other than cash? Or is this for cash only donations? You may know what I have in mind...

Barb,
I highly encourage any sponsors that want to help out here to start a thread in their sponsor boards regarding it, a suggestion might be to auction off something with the proceeds to go to the challenger contest. ;)

Sponsors should let me know what they are planning so I can make sure that the offering is given sufficient exposure.

I'll then list the proceeds here...
Thanks!
