That goal would not have been possible without the many generous donors for the auctions. My hats off to them. Also to the many who labored behind the scenes in planning and administration. They deserve a big applause.

Very good. I have 3 children and for 21 years I have had automatic payroll deductions taken out by my employer (IBM) for St. Judes. I can't imagine having a sick child. Plus Danny Thomas is my fraternity brother (TKE).

Great job Tradgang! Great job Danny Thomas, rest in peace, knowing that you made such a great difference in many peoples lives!

Imagine how much more you could have totaled if all 24000 folks here donated or bid...

Rich that gave me an idea. Why not next year allow members to just donate also, if they do not want to bid on anything. I am sure Rob could set up a tab in the auction thread for donations. Imagine if 24,000 donated $20, it would be $480,000. Imagine how many distraught families that could help!!!!!!!

WOW! That is absolutely spectacular!

Much appreciation goes to all of those who worked the long hours to organize this event and make this possible.

I don't even know who all works behind the scenes and coordinates this fundraiser, but I do know that it takes much dedication and labor to make it work as well as it does. To those that did, I say a BIG, THANK YOU! You are very much appreciated.

Nice work :thumbsup:

I only wish I would have started participating years ago. Man did I have a blast this year. I can't tell you how many times I told my wife, "it's for the kids". :p That was partially true, but it was also for this kid. Love the stuff I got and love the feeling I got after it was all said and done. Now next year for that TGMM Family of the Bow thing!(planned on doing it this year, but the snakey osage bow put me over the top)

$500,000 ?
bring it on I reckon !
Even in tough economic times the guys and girls of TG have pulled together for a great result this year so next year should be even better . And as its for the young ones the cause is necessary and timeless.....
I spent the other night in hospital with a loved one and seeing the sick children belts home the important lessons if life ...
Again...Bring on next year !

I love this place and the effort that everyone involved puts into it. Can't say enough about the people who organize this thing and especially the better halves who "have to put up with it". I know you guys couldn't do all you do with out the outstanding support of your families.

Also a big thank you to everyone who donated anything to the auction. Some put in big value items, others put in beautiful hand made items, etc, etc, etc. No matter what was donated it all comes from the heart and we couldn't reach this goal without everyones efforts.

Great job everyone.
