all total i think our community raised some $40,000+
area businesses volunteered their workers to go to jail... my wife was one of them. From her company i think there were 4 other people.
her bail amount was the highest from within her company.
I'm very proud to say that the subsim community made up about 60% of her total bail amount - if i sat to do the math im sure my estimate of 60% is on the low side.
well done guys... i can promise there is a child out there who is benefiting from that money as i post this.
EDIT: We didn't quite get 100 donations through subsim - but the donations we did receive through subsim were quite generous. Neal insisted that i not donate to subsim for each member who contributed as we had originally agreed - that instead i should donate the final tally to the March of Dimes... it was mighty big of him... but in the end subsim received a very modest contribution anyhow  |
GR, much love to you and your wife for this. While I didn't donate to this cause this time around (frankly I forgot), my wife and I have decided to donate to the Wisconsin chapter for this year and next. If there's any way we can give you and your wife credit for your hard work, please PM me with details and let me know.
In any case, good job with your valient support, and thank your wife for her participation! You both and your work represent the best of us all!
