As an aside to what Quick is doing with the "Put your $$$" thread.....a few people discussed the desire to get involved....but proposed the $$$ going to a charity.

I spoke to Justin about this, yesterday. he's all for it....and gave me a link to a kid's charity.

Here's "A" plan.

After all contest members have signed up and been assigned.....each team member "pledge" a certain amount of inches he hopes to contribute to his team. If he meets his "pledge".....nothing. If he doesn't....he contributes ($_____) to the aforementioned charity.

I'm going to give either way......and if everyone involved only put forth $10.....then we would have contributed over $4,000.00 to a worthwhile cause, last year. If whichever team I'm on doesn't meet the $100 mark....I'll make up the difference.

What say ye? Good idea? Proposed changes? NOTHING is set. It's in the planning stage.

This forum allows us the opportunity to HAVE this contest.....and $10 (or more....or less) doesn't seem like a big price to pay for what we get out of this. That's MY thought, anyways.
