I'm sorry I didn't donate here but I sent over 2 years of off-road mag and another magazine for a female. Totalling 143.00 with the shipping. I feel good.
I'm just here for the views. It helps me feel wanted.

Thanks for the offer Steve. I got all neanderthal and sent it via Paypal.

I want it in a hot air balloon. I'm also going to want a ride in said balloon! Ha!

Well since we're not all official-like with a non-profit organization, bank account and all that, Your non-PayPal options are as follows. Send a check directly to me and I'll deposit it in my personal account and transfer the money to the GFB PayPal account. Or, send it directly to Wounded Warriors. Either will work!

By the way, it's SUPER easy to set up a PayPal account. All that's required is a credit or debit card. You can also use a checking account but that takes a bit more effort and time. Even a cave man could do it!

All that said, we will NOT turn down a donation. If someone is generous enough to give, we'll do whatever it takes to get the donation to Wounded Warriors.

John, send me a PM and let me know how you want to handle this.

Thanks!

i would also like to donate a few gofastbroncos.com shirt and stickers. let me know where to send them.
Hey Ollie, (for everyone else too)


You can send it to me directly. I'll interface with the foundation. I was just up at Balboa the other day and talked with some of the vets... very positive guys... Balboa is the west coast medical center for vets that have lost limbs. Everyone I've talked with were exceptionally positive!

I'll pm you with my mailing address.

All,
We've had a tremendous response to our little effort to help our wounded veterans over the holiday season. Our goal is to collect $2,500 to send a couple of vets home for the holiday to spend with their families and to also provide holiday items/gifts to those whom are infirmed at the hospital. Thus far we've received $770.92 with $1,729 left to go. We've had 9 donations so far and hope to reach more.

Thanks to everyone for everything you've done for our vets... let's meet our goal!

-tom

Excellent, Eric! Way to come home with some cash!

I'm going to do at least $50 plus I'll make up whatever fees PayPal has deducted from donations.

Also, going to hit up family members during our Thanksgiving meal. First we'll give thanks, then I'll remind them of the sacrifices our service men and women have made. Hit 'em right in the heart! I encourage all you to do the same!


P.S. Remember to send donations as a "Gift" or PayPal will take a cut for themselves.

No worries, Tom. I'll take care of the difference!

We're up to $950. $1550 to go. Not bad at all! Let's not lose steam, though. Keep it up, fellas!

I donated what I could this morning. I also posted a link and description in another forum I frequent. I hope some of the money is coming from there.
