I know Black Friday sucked for a lot of people but I refuse to believe you guys don't have a spare 20 bucks to buy a kid a present. Time to step up.

Good to hear sparky. I have yet to receive a donation via 2+2, so maybe you are getting all the action and it's not as sad as I thought.

We still have some time. I just want to stress that though it's completely reasonable to just donate yourself, I have been able to find a great day from a toy store that is giving us 5% off of whole sale price. This will get us from 2-4x the toys for the same amount of money.

Looks like we're at $997.90 combined between Sparky and Myself. Maybe we can top 1K by the end of the day and continue to move upwards.

Wait, so you're donating the toys to toys for tots? Wouldn't it be easier for us to individually donate to toys for tots directly? I'm definitely going to donate just trying to figure out best way and to whom.

So.. a little extra work by donating via paypal or moneybookers, but quite a bit more toys for the children through me/us.

I've received $60 online which you can add to the total, along with another ~$300 that I've raised offline.

I'll extend mine a bit longer, but I've only received 1 donation via 2+2 so hopefully people are going through you or they are just waiting til the last minute. Luckily i've been able to get some donations elsewhere.

When are you doing the shopping and posting the pictures? Trying to decide if the pictures you post might spark some last minute donations or if I should just get out there and finish my side of this.

Only got one donation this year from 2+2 (thx ArChieBunKa) so I just decided to go out there and spend $750 anyway!

Hopefully we get this poker issue resolved and we can continue to grow this cause next year.
