"Byrneout's Shriner's Toy Drive"
OK guys, lets start on another VERY important fund raiser... and that is Ric's (Byrneout's) fund raiser for the the Shriners Burn Unit where we donate cash cash and comics. This has been done for years to a great deal of success first starting off by buying the KIDS that are in the burn unit during Christmas an Xbox 360 (and a slew of controllers/games, TV, TV cart) one year and a PS3 w/ controllers/games, TV, TV cart the next.
Well this year, we are going for a slew of PSPs for the kids along with games. You can also donate as many comics as you can. These are VERY good 'ways' to donate for giving children a break from their pain from their burns for a while as well as when they use the controllers or turn the pages of a comic book, they are doing a form of 'physical therapy' as well. So, your donations during this time of year are CRITICAL to the further restoration of a child's life or even more important SAVING a childs life. So please be as generous as you can.
Ric is a MAJOR supporter of the CF fund raiser EVERY year (more on that in a seperate post as the man deserves his own thread) and as a community, we can again get behind something that makes the world a better place... the world will be made a better place for a certain group of children who have suffered very painful and sometimes life threatening burns on Christmas of all days !!!! Some of these children (to my understanding) will be alone during this time because sometimes the world is just a bad place to live in and if we can make the holidays a bit brighter, make a few kids get lost in a video game for a while and hopefully make some forget their pain during Christmas... then by God, I am behind this 100% and nothing tears at my heart more than children in pain.
For those of you that do not know this, the same Shriners Unit treated Ric when he was a child after a horrible crime was allowed to be commited against him. You would think that after going through an ordeal such as what Ric went through, it would make him a bitter person but I have met the man and have been his Friend for many years and I do not know of a purer soul on the face of the planet.
So men, lets get behind this and donate as much as we can...
I am starting this off with $150. If you wish to donate, please send anything that you can afford to donate to me at roguesf333@cox.net, I will inform Greg (so we keep the numbers above the board) of all the donation amounts (no names if requested) and then I will also pay the Paypal fees. I will end this fund raiser on 15 December, so that gives Ric a chance to make the rounds and pick up what those kids need to have a GREAT Christmas. Just like we have done for two years running. Lets do it again. Donation notifications can be done via PM, email or right here in this thread and can also be done privately if you do not want your name to be mentioned.
RIC !!! The first $150 is mine... the rest is up to the great board members of ValiantFans.com (and don't be surprised at what we finally come up with... you know how these guys are
)
So... it has begun.
