This link allows direct contributions to St. Jude to go towards the cumulative total through TradGang.com.  It will be used for all online donation for the auction as well as any other personal charitable donations that you don't expect a good or service in return for.

Thanks for you guy's contributions!  I'm always happy to help the kids. 

Many of you may not know this but I've had close family members treated at St Jude before.  I also am an occupational therapist vocationally and have had multiple patients treated and saved at St. Jude Children's Hospital over the years.  This auction specifically is what pulled me into TradGang many years ago because it showed me the heart and quality of the fine members here vs some of the riff-raff that I found on other corners of the internet.

When the opportunity to serve within the auction popped up I was honored to step up to fill the role that Doug once served.  While participation in the annual event isn't as prolific as it once was, I will continue to volunteer for it so long as we have other's helping God serve and treat the kids out there.  This is very much a labor of love for us but it's also one that I look forward to every single year.

Donation completed for me. Always enjoyed the  Tradgang St. Jude's donation/bow build thread from days gone by.  This is a great cause and a great acknowledgment for bow hunters.  Even if it's $10 it will add up here and be a feather in Tradgang's hat.

You all might try searching for past St Jude auction threads to see some great examples of past auction action. Remember you are helping sick children with your generosity  :goldtooth:
