Default CHARITY: $585.00 Pledged to Send 3 Kids to TO's Camp

I'm calling this "Project Stealth" in honor of the poster whose idea this was.

Dawgs0916 and CowboyEric8 are two young men on this forum who are eligible to go to this camp. Let's send them. They will attend on June 7th & 8th and they promise to report back to us about the Camp.

Several of you offered to donate. I'm going to PM those who did.

For those who would like to help here's what we are going to do.

Send me a PM with your e-mail address and the amount you'd like to donate. I'll send you an e-mail requesting that amount.

The total amount to send these 2 young men to Camp is $390.00. I will keep the forum notified via the thread title how much we still need. $50.00 has already been pledged so for now the total we need to raise is $340.00.

Any amount helps. Once the money has been raised I will register our two representatives and pay their registration.

We may even try to get them some CowboysZone.com t-shirts to wear if at all possible. I hope we can pull that off.

Thank you to everyone who donates. There's no obligation on anyone to do this. We just feel this is a great cause. TO has never done one of these camps before so this is a great gesture on his part.

We have a May 31 deadline to do this.

One last thing. All donations will be kept anonymous by me.

I was just asked about a payment other than PayPal.

If anyone wants to donate but doesn't want to open an account, PM me and I'll work with you on other payment methods.

I chose this method only for speed of getting the funds to do this for these boys. I have no problem working with the members in another way.

There are donations still coming in and a 3rd boy who would like to go.

Once everyone who has pledged sends their funds the 1st two boys are covered. As of right now all $390 for those 2 boys has been pledged but only $135.00 collected.

I'm still going to try and make this happen for the 3rd boy too. There will not be a 4th. I promise.

Info on the 3rd boy is coming later today.

Every donation from here on out I will be asking for your permission to apply it to the 3rd boy's registration.
