Total PayPal transactions thus far: $11,072.00
Total checks thus far: $4,790.00
Total cash donations thus far:$180.00
Overall donations that have been verified for this year's charity event:
$16,042.00
This puts our year to date totals at:
$905,257.70
Below is a view of the spreadsheet ithat I make for PayPal donations as I verify bids/donations in order to (1) submit to my contacts at St Jude to let TradGang get the credit for the fundraiser event and (2) keep a running total for us here at TradGang to be able to inform members and update our running totals in house. Here is just a glimpse into the shadows of the auction for you guys. It sure is nice to see the kids getting some funds. I'll try to keep this thread updated periodically.

Another fine auction, many thanks to all the donors, bidders,winners and the Trad Gang team of Mods that make this happen. Every year is a little different and I missed some of the past donors and all the back and forth fun of that, but any year helping The Kids is a good year. We have a generous community here and events like this brighten our lives.
Best to you all, Ken
Got a little update for you all. :bigsmyl:

Me too. It's not uncommon at all to have folks send more than their bids too. Probably 1/3 of what I clear has more sent than the item closed for so it's kind of hard to predict totals.

Include in the following information with your check:
*Bid forum number
*TG Auction for "whatever item that you bid on"
*your name or handle on the forum
*your mailing address
So for example if I bid on a Big Jims Custom Bow that was listed on the first bid forum, the email would have the receipt attached and would read something like:
Forum 1
TG Auction for Big Jims Custom Bow
Your Name/Handle as it appears on Tradgang
John Doe
1234 Street Address
City, State, Zip Code
Make check out to St Jude and put TRADGANG on the memo line for tracking purposes.
Walt Francis will still doing checks via mail.

I just got a message from Walt Francis with some updated totals on his end
:clapper:
EXCELLENT!!!!
Totals at the top of this thread, updated the checks and cash donations as of this evening.
Ok Walt?
Great! Any items still waiting for payment?
One item in both forums 1 & 2.
The winning bidder is probably to busy tying flys to realize he won a couple things. :jumper:
I have his items boxed up and ready to send when he gets finished with the flys. :thumbsup:

OK, are we going to bust $16,000?
With the last items cleared, we have reached a final total of $16,042.00 for the kids this year. Thank you to everyone who participated. It has been an honor to be able to help serve during this event for the kids. I'm looking forward to and already prepping for next year's event.
:clapper: :clapper: :clapper:
What's that make the all time total?
Bisch
That's great! For a year that started off slow it was one of our best years!
Actually Here is the real number if you check the threads I'd forgot to change the title of the forum last year to reflect the new grand total.....
. I just caught my mistake... It was posted the total in 2020 but does not reflect in the header...
So the real grand totally is... $905,257.70
