Title: Well the FedEx guy just left
Post by: Doug Campbell on June 26, 2007, 10:01:00 PM
with a pkg containing checks and M/Os totaling $71,943.54! Still got a few more coming in that should put us very close to $75K. I went ahead and sent what I had because I needed to get this in before the end of their fiscal year which is June 30.

An absulately awesome Auction this year. The folks at ST Jude are thrilled with the amount.

Y'all did good!!

Thank You to everyone who had a hand in helping this year!!!

"Ya'll did good."  YOU did better!  
Good job and thanks for all your hard work.  My cookies were a week old by the time I got them from the PO upon returning from Moloka'i.  Nothing a cup o' joe and a cold milk couldn't cure though!

Thanks to you, Doug, and a lot of others in our TRAD GANG family, for the opportunity to contribute to such a great cause. We know how many hours you, Vermonster, Terry, and the other "behind the scenes" guys put into this. And how about the cheer leading crew....Bernie, Whip, Iron Bull, Vermonster, among others......Skyler is already preparing for next year.              Don and Skyler

Great job!  Doug thanks for taking care of all the details.  I'm guessing its a lot of behind the scenes work.  It doesn't go unnoticed.

Are the St. Jude's folks fully aware of our website and what we're all about?  I sure hope they are. And I hope our actions attract more people to traditional archery.

Yep again, great job everybody!!

And yes the folks I've been working with at St Jude are well aware of TG. I'm hoping Craig Billig, the Director of ALSAC St Jude, (the branch that handles fund raisers like ours) will be coming on here to make a statement soon. It seems we were one of thier biggest fundraisers this year   :thumbsup:    :thumbsup:  

Lets see if we can't blow this one out of the water next year!!

"2008 TradGang.com St. Jude's Auction - $100K - Anything less just ain't right"

Helluva year, this one.....lots of folks stepped up for sure.  Makes the heart smile bigtime.  Luv to see a t-shirt for next year with TradGang logo and St. Jude's logo on 'em.  Just tell me where to send the 50 bucks to get one !

Well, I got me a St Judes box started already  ;)
I plan on throwing something in the ring to bid on and, I plan on having a few more dollars to spend as well.
This is my first year for this auction and I appreciate all the folks that donated, bid and ran the scenes from back stage, everyone was great and it seems we did a very good deed, for a very worthy cause.
I was lucky enough to come away with a few items and I'm using them all  :)
As a side note, a few more "TradGang" items, (dorags, shirts, hats, stickers, etc.)would be a real plus for the next one,   ;)
I look forward to it again next year !
Thanks TradGang !!!
