I'd say that's very impressive!
:clapper:
Me thinks we can figure out how to raise 1446.83 to bust 80 Grand.
Lets kick it around..... :campfire:
I just kicked in another $65 in cash
I mailed Walt $80 in cash donations yesterday.
This is great!!
:campfire:
I just Paypalled in another $226
Lets get some cash donations going, I just did with paypal, a little from enough members will push us over 80k, here is a copy and paste from how to on St Judes page:
"OK Gang, here is the spot if you just want to make a Cash Donation for the kids.
You can donate with check or M/O written to St Jude Children's Research Hospital, (please do not write them to me or Trad Gang) and mailed to...
Walt Francis
2917 Rose Street

Or you can pay via Paypal.com Click on the link and log in or register then click on "Send Money" enter PayPal@stjude.org in the "pay to" space, be sure to reference "Trad Gang St Jude Auction" then just follow the instructions. When making you payment you can choose goods,services under purchase and under personal if you select gift you don't have to pay the 3%. Thanks Merle!

Great job everyone! :clapper:
I made a double payment for the item I won....not a lot but it all helps...right?
It sure does 4dogs! Thank you from the Kids!
The response to my longrope was better than I thought so I'm making a couple more for the high bidders. We shouldn't come this close to 80K and not make it.
Someone said there are 39,000 members on TG. If every member donated just two dollars, there would be our 78,000 dollars? Food for thought! :readit:
ttt
Added $20 to the check for my items
This should not be on page 2 of pow wow.
$200.00 sent via pay-pal
Get up top!
TTT. Let's surpass $ 80K TG members!
To date (and I'm not saying this for any reason, other for glory for the kids), I have contributed over $ 5,000 in donor items, high bids and postage.
$ 2 per TG member seems like a drop in the bucket!!
Your an inspiration rbcorbitt, Just think of the kids we could help if everyone could be as generous as you!
Come on everyone, if you haven't donated, please consider a mere $2 donation. Just think what it could do for traditional archery and trad archers if TG could donate 150,000. This is by all means an achievable goal with no pain to anyone's pocket.Let's show people that trad hunters are some of the most loving people on earth. It just may be the most important and significant thing we could do for the way hunters are viewed as well as for the kids. Ask yourself: what if my son or daughter needed St. Jude?
RC welcome to the club,I.ve supported the auction since I became a trad gang member,times a tough but I'll send another 100.00 to help the cause,just wish all the other members who can would do the same.
Come on guys, IT WILL MAKE YOU FEEL GOOOOOOOOD! and it's good for the kids!
ttt
If you believe trad hunting is important to you, then let's keep this up top. Support trad hunting and support the kids!
JUST $2 THAT'S ALL IT WILL TAKE
$2 X 39,000 MEMBERS = 78,000
+78,000
156,000 TTT
TTT
Let's go guys, sent an extra $5 on my items, not much but every little bit gets it closer!
Back up.... I sent some extra in my item payment. Just a couple bucks everyone !!!! Not many things in this old world that can make you feel better than helping a child !!!!
Froggy
God bless, pass the plate........ just two dollars........... Put in your two dollars and pass the plate..... TTT
Just two dollars and that's my two cents. TTT
TTT!
:thumbsup: :thumbsup:
TTT
Come on folks, if you haven't donated to St. Jude's. All it takes is two dollars. Painless on your purse.... weightless on your wallet! Think of the kids! There's still time, just two dollars.
TTT
We will get to 80,000.
Mark my word
that is awesome right there :clapper: :clapper:
:thumbsup:
I am in and then some. Been there before and every day with a healthy child is a blessing.
TTT
Just 2 dollars to make a difference!
TTT
Lets see if there's been a change in cash total...I'll email Doug.
I was thinking for next year, maybe you could keep an ad posting to encourage a 2.00 donation to present and new TG members.Little price to pay for such a useful, fun and great website. Year long donations of 2.00 could add up. Something alone those lines might be beneficial to the cause. Just a thought! Thanks again Terry.
Just sent $100.00 from PayPal for Trad Gang St Jude Auction. Just think, for next year add $2.00 towards a Contributer, Sponser. and Trad Gang donate the extra $2.00 towards the auction.
WOW, very cool Craig. For those who haven't donated yet....... 2 dollars is all it will cost you to clear your mind.
TTT
What is the total now
West Virginia challenged other clubs with $100 on Pow Wow and Michigan matched with another $100 (I confirmed with our treasurer that the check went out two weeks ago.)
On the same thread Jon Stewart and I both sent $25 extra.
I don't know if these were in the totals since they weren't on any auction, but that could be $250 closer.
Thom
I believe Terry will be giving us an update soon. Great job everyone!
I sent another $25 for an extra set of cookies :)
just put in $50.00 via Paypal .
Things have been so hectic around here that I missed the entire auction this year. I did just send in a $100 donation though... There is not a better cause to support than this one.
I'd say we are closing in on 80K....haven't heard back from Doug yet.
80,000 Here it comes,do I hear 85!
Please donate if you haven't, any amount you can afford. If we save just one life, isn't it worth it !!!
TTT
TTT :campfire:

Heyguys sorry for the slow reply, kinda on and off the "grid" right now. Haven't seen many $2 donations but several 50 - 100 dollar ones. :clapper: You can check them out on Forum 4, the "Cash Donations" thread.
There are still lots of places in MT where your out of touch via the Internet. That's where I'll be the next four days but will catch up when I get back. I won't have a total till I get with Walt next week and pick up all the checks and M/Os he's collected.
Thanks again All and see you in a few days.
Most excellent! Thanks for your efforts Doug :thumbsup:
Sorry. I have a reputation to keep.
TTT
Back up top........It's not too late folks!
Just made a contribution...
Let's keep a reminder up top. There is still time to donate. Just two dollars folks, thats all it takes to help the kids.
TTT
TTT
messed up and was too late with my auction item so did this instead.
Very cool Hamishhog :clapper:
Did the Michigan Bunny Stomp get added?
Way to go
:notworthy:
Michigan Long bow association donated 100.00, not sure if that was the Bunnie stomp funds. :dunno:
I tried to make a cash donation via paypal on May 18, and it got kicked back today, I don't quite understand why. I have to read my email again.
Still time to donate if you haven't!
TTT
Well, did we get to 80K? Sure seems like it would be getting up there!
It takes a while guys...for them to all float in....
:campfire:
TTT!
We are down to a dozen +/- on each forum. That is doing good compared to some years in the past. Usually we do not get the "slow payers" for three to four weeks. Can't say why, but that is the way it goes most every year. All checks and money orders received are posted daily. Yesterday when Doug emailed he was completly up to date.
:thumbsup:
$25 thru PP just now

At some point there will be a grand total posted? Correct?
By grand total I mean everything earned plus cash donations for 2013.
Thanks! God bless,Mudd
Eventually there will be a grand total posted Mudd. Historically Doug Campbell posts that after all the tallying is done and the money has been sent to St. Jude's. In this day and age of instant communication, reporting ect., ect. we have to remember that this is 'traditional' reporting and done by volunteers, so it takes a little more time. Whenever it's posted, it will be a proud accomplishment for Tradgang and deserves a job 'well done' by the guys like Doug and Walt, moderators and all that bought items and donated items.
:campfire: :campfire: :campfire:
Mudd,
There will be a total posted by Doug. After the last payments are received from the winners and acknowledged by St Jude's, they send him a total and then he posts it here on Tradgang. Until we receive that total we do not know the fee amounts of the PayPal payments or unknown donations.
Patience, the process takes around six weeks (+/-).
You folks do an awesome job and I certainly wasn't expecting it right now.
I guess I was just wanting reassurance that either it would happen or worse yet, it had already happened and me being me.. missed it.
Thank you!
God bless,Mudd
Never too late to donate........TTT
For those who haven't donated, it's not too late, We are really close to 80,00 total. Please help us reach that goal for the kids. Any amount is much appreciated.
