Brenjetsfan Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Brenda Usually the Charity donation for the Razor's Edge is logged on Karen's site (patriotworld.com) and that is sufficient. This week I felt it worthwhile to share with more folks the astounding generosity of the folks who comprise and visit the Tailgate. We are giving to Tedy's Team for which 100% of all donations go to the American Stroke Organization. While the regulars at the tailgate put in fair amounts of effort and donated supplies, we do that because we generally all have an appreciation for hospitality and the friendship we share at Tailgates. Many of the folks at the Tailgate actually give a donation each week as well as their efforts and we want the emphasis to always be on the hospitality, we just choose to allow those who wish to express appreciation to have an avenue we support. This week at the Tailgate in which we battled the New York Jets in a playoff game we set a new record high for donations to the Charity bin. While our previous record neared the $200 mark, this week with the many guests from New York and the many guests from New England we destroyed that record high. I cannot express my shock and appreciation when the counted funds total was given to me: $437.82 We do this for every home game and that puts the amount usually near $1000 which we give to charity each year. Now that's an impressive amount when it is for doing no more than we were doing before this. Still the extra surge of donations for what had been a lower season donation than usual was astounding and I wanted to make certain the many fine folk who made this happen understand how well it is appreciated. It's all done anonymously through the bin which is as I prefer and so the proper thanks may never reach the folks but I'm hopeful this message will get distributed enough to make certain the folks who comprised that tailgate understand they were part of a fine side benefit to a great football day. Thank you to those and everyone who over the years has made this tradition a success. We are incredibly fortunate in the quality of folk with whom we hang our helmets!
