The total given has been $4,710.69.
It's been a while.... just read all of this thread....amazing story, + such a great community spirit on here, makes you proud to play EBMM. $100 sent. Best wishes and Prayers. Tom.
Done, 100$ less to find!
God bless you all
Thank you everyone for their generosity! There was $50 donated this morning on the guitar side. I believe this means there is less than $100 to meet the goal. I am sure someone would like to be the one to push this over the top. Then we can work on world hunger ;-). Merry Christmas everyone!
p.s. I have found it real interesting to see how many donations have come from outside the US.
JayDawg-
I just read your story, and have sent $15. I am 16 years old, and am currently finishing my junior year in high school. I hardly ever see kids my age donate to good causes, and really want to change that. I had a last 15$ in my PayPal account, I have sent it over! I really wish I could have contributed more- unfortunately eBay auctions are too slow, I can't sell in time- you'll have made the goal!
This forum has been incredible to me- I've been here for about a year now, and I only own one EBMM, but I hope to own many someday, when the money permitsBest instruments on the planet!
Best of luck to you and your family- I have no doubt that you'll make the goal within the evening!
All the best!
You all really have made my families Christmas this year. When Rochelle got home, I told her the good news and she was really excited. She then paused and had a weird look on her face and said to me, "They're not expecting before and after photos of me are they?" She cracks me up. I told her there was a standing rule on the site that when someone gets a new bass, they have to post pics otherwise it means no pics/no bass. She then asked if photos of her in the hospital when she gets her surgeries would do? I said it probably would.
I agree. To both Jim for coming up with the idea and Sterling for allowing the forum to be used for this and the offer he made, Rochelle and I are very grateful for them for everything they have done for us. We were also blown away by how many people gave from not only in the U.S. but in other countries as well. This truly was an act of generosity from throughout the world!
OK here is my deal.....
Every bass player that gives $100. gets three sets of Slinky Bass strings...(four string sets)
Every guitarist gets a dozen sets of 6 string Slinkys and an Music Man Hat...
Lets see how we do here....Lets see how much we can raise....If we exceed the $5,000.00 we will donate the excess to the relay for life in JDawgs area.....
Sound good?
We get sidetracked in life and on this forum by some clueless people....acts such as this show that there is a heart beating and sincere desire to help......
Now I have to twist the export distributors to participate!
I am very proud to be involved with all of you.
