Please help me choose which photo to donate

The photo will be printed on 11x14" Metalic Gatorboard
Any help appreciated, this is for a great guy.

If this is the wrong section to post this, please let me know and I will move it.

Can you pick out 5 or so to choose from. Trying to chose from everything on your website isn't practical. :D

I like all of them.

Can you tell us more about your generous efforts? Maybe others would care to join in.

In my home town of Bonny Doon one of the volunteer firefighters got in an accident and has no medical coverage. It is a very tight nit community where most people know their neighbors.
They are having a charity auction where the proceeds are going to help cover part of his medical bill (about 80k).
We are just trying to do our part to help out him and his family.

I'm off to a trade show in Vegas and won't be back 'til Wednesday night. With an 8/1 deadline we should have been given more time to address this. :dunno

I agree we didn't get a lot of warning, but the event is 8/7/10 not 8/1810.

Still no word..............

Looks like she'll be getting mine late. Oh well.

Try e-mailing the Support Heroes, never hurts to ask. They got my wife's gift to me in time and it was tight.
