RED CROSS/HAITI

You can donate $10 to Haiti relief by texting “Haiti” to 9-0-9-9-9.

Basic info about this mobile giving program:

We have received more than $3 million as of 9 a.m. EST – through a third party mobile fundraising effort to support our relief efforts in Haiti.

100% of the donations will go to support the Red Cross relief efforts in Haiti.

The mobile fundraising effort launched on January 12, approximately three hours after the earthquake struck Haiti. The program is powered by Mobile Accord and the MGive Foundation in coordination with the U.S. State Department as part of its ongoing support of this disaster response.

We are grateful this mobile fundraising opportunity, and for the support of the State Department and other government leaders to draw attention to this important program (and thousands of tweeters!)

The needs in Haiti are tremendous and we want to thank the people who continue to donate and help the American Red Cross meet that need. Raising this amount of money $10 at a time is a true testament to the American spirit.

People who want to help those affected by the Haitian earthquake can also make a donation to the American Red Cross International Response Fund at Redcross.org or by calling 1-800-RED-CROSS

Donors using this technology may opt in to receive future updates, but will not be solicited again without this consent nor will their personal information be shared with other organizations.
An average of 91 cents of every dollar the American Red Cross spends is invested in humanitarian services and programs.

CHRISTMAS 2009

It has been a strange Christmas. Will had to leave for TN yesterday to cover bowl game events and the bowl game itself on Sunday. We spent Christmas apart and alone and it was very odd. I had spaghetti for my Christmas dinner and Will had a hamburger from the hotel bar.

We have both been busy this month and neither of us took time to buy any presents. We went to the mall Thursday afternoon and picked out a gift for ourselves. I got a watch and it came with a bracelet. Will got a PSIII game and some kind of DVD series off the Pittsburg Steeler’s website. We looked for a Cocky statue at the mall so Will could pay up on his bet, but we couldn’t find one. Don’t worry, I wont forget about it.

Will recently asked me to describe my favorite childhood Christmas memory. We had great Christmases every year. We never went without. We always ate tons of food with both sides of the family and I had lots of cousins to play with. I loved to get up around 3am Christmas morning to see what Santa brought for myself, Adam, and Kelli and then going back to bed. I also loved to see what Santa left in our stockings.

This is just a lot of rambling, isn’t it? I guess I need to start cleaning the house. I’ve already called “not it” with regard to taking the Christmas decorations down. I put them up so I volunteered Will to take them down.

Hope everyone had a great Christmas! What is your favorite Christmas memory?

STAY TUNED

I just wanted to post a quick blog to let everyone know that I have not forgotten about buying the Cocky statue. I may have to order one off the internet. It's not like they sell them here in Tiger Town! Ha, ha. Stay tuned...the bet will be honored soon.
