hurricane katrina donations to be matched by smugmug

[Andy]

today i asked baldy and onethumb something very very important, and they agreed:

smugmug will match dgrinner's donations to hurricane katrina disaster relief.

here's how it'll work: you make your own donation to the charity of your choice -- the only stipulation is that the donation must go to hurricane katrina disaster relief.

you'll email to me (awilliamsny at yahoo dot com) with evidence of your donation, a copy of receipt, edit out personal info if you need to, that will be fine. i will tally up the donation amounts and report back to baldy and onethumb, and they will write a check equal to the amount that we've come up with.

your donation amount, personal information, and email address will always be private, nobody will ever know it except me, and i'm a vault.

you may post your donation amount here in this thread if you like, or you may choose to keep it private - it's your choice. but no matter what - please please please make a donation. no amount is too small - if you can afford a digital camera you can afford a donation - give what you can - nobody's going to question you or comment one way or another.

here are some organizations that are accepting cash donations:

the american red cross

the salvation army

baldy, onethumb and everyone at smugmug: this is incredibly generous, and i'm going to do my darndest to get as many donations as possible!

i will get the ball rolling with $500 donated to the red cross.


TOTAL DGRIN DONATIONS THUS FAR:

good onya Andy - yesterday I started a relief fund drive at my company's 9 locations and the owner has pledged matching funds for employee contributions. we're anticipating a $30,000+ contribution

my personal pledge, tied to blood donations by employee volunteers is $500

If someone is awake out there that can turn on Andy's e-mail link (or give an alternate), that would be helpful!

Definitely Cheers to Smugmug for their generosity!

Should be fixed.

Tip - Just found out on a Mac site that if you have an account at the iTunes Music Store, you can donate to the Red Cross instantly through a button on iTunes. It's much easier and faster than filling out forms on a web page or waiting on the phone.

I just donated there, before I even saw this thread.

Andy thats a wonderful thing to do.. the situation is beyond belief and seems to be getting worse by the hour. I have already made my contribution but may make another just to support Smugmugs efforts.. thank you Andy.
