*** In honor of Pollard fine, HELP raise 25 K for Blank Children's Hospital ***

[FunCyd]

I just have to throw this out there. This entire raising $25K is awesome. Very Cuban-ish...and I love it.

"Cuban has made a charitable donation to match every fine he's received from the NBA office. The league has publicly fined Cuban 20 times during his 14-year ownership tenure for a total of $1.9 million.
This $100,000 fine, which Cuban boasted was his "proper farewell" to the retiring commissioner, was assessed after Cuban confronted officials on the court and directed inappropriate language toward them at the conclusion of the Mavs' 129-127 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers on Jan. 15."

Sadly I think this thing has run it's course and we should start being proud of the amount of money we all contributed.

Good question, I haven't heard anything, it probably hasn't moved much but I could e-mail her to check.

 

[Cychedelia]

11,600 so far

Five days ago since last update. I hope you all have not run out of gas on this. We still have a fine to pay

I think it's time to call it a day on this and be happy that such a large amount was raised for a good reason with such little time and coordination to get it done. Over 10k is certainly nothing to be ashamed of.

 

[Sparkplug]

What was the final amount?

 

[Cychedelia]

I don't think it was much more than 11,600, that was the last time I was updated and it seems as though it stalled.

Anyone else get their letter from Blank Children's Hospital, Unity Point thanking you for the donation? Very nice letter, personally signed by David Stark, President and Alissa McKinney, Director of Development with "Go Clones" handwritten notes on it. Very thoughtful of them.

I got mine a couple weeks ago. Almost half is pretty good!

A letter from Blank's today stated "nearly $15,000" was raised. Some highlights: "We are incredibly proud of our partnership with Iowa State. By giving patients the opportunity to take the field with the Cyclones at home games ... Through visits to the hospital, Iowa State athletes help provided a needed break as well as inspiration for the patients."
