well done DJT.  very good on you.

condolences and love.

im on an unsecure wifi and you know I will donate Nick. I will when I get home do the $25 donation in your moms name. Is it easier to mail you a check or go thru the website?

Very cool.  I will donate asp.

What is the best way to donate?

No offense, but I always like to check things out before I consider donating.  Where does the money go?

I ask largely because a lot of cancer-oriented charities are really not good at disbursing the money they receive to meaningfully useful places.  The American Cancer Society is not bad, but not a great charity from my perspective.  Susan G. Komen is a money sink, I wouldn't dream of donating any money to them.

Obviously in your case it's not that specific organization, but they're not the only one.  Probably the most visible/famous one that's particularly bad...

The best way to donate is through the site. Sorry I did not respond right away but I have been very busy with my jobs and my kids all summer.

Thanks, Dub. I see you donated on the site already. Thanks in advance to JoCrane, Verynice, and anyone else who will donate.

Dahs, brain cancer is very rare when compared to other cancers, so I don't think VABC is in it for the money. Just my opinion. Still, brain cancer has an extremely low survival rate. My mom actually beat the odds just by living for 5 and a half years with stage 4 GBM. Only about 2 to 4% with that stage make it that far.

For those who are pay-by-Internet-phobic:

Q: Can I make a donation by check? (if you wish to register by check, please read the next Q&A)

A: Yes! And don't forget to indicate which team or participant you wish to support in the memo line of the check! To send a check, please fill out this form (hyperlink is attached here) and mail to it (with checks made out to Voices Against Brain Cancer) to:

good luck in hitting your goal. I hope you exceed it.ttyl

Thanks,  Rob.

I have contacted Admin about awarding a $100 GC to the winner of a raffle that would include every WifS member who donated to my mom's team. I will keep you all updated.

Site is still up. Donations are coming in. Thanks to those of you who donated. Anyone else's contributions are greatly appreciated.

I am still working on the $100 GC from Admin but that has not been confirmed yet.
