Default We have a Winner...NLBM fundraiser

Commish Bob is the lucky winner, we raised just shy of $1,000 for the museum. I really appreciate all who participated.

I'll enter the names of the first 14 members who post a donation on this thread to the Negro League Baseball Museum in the amount of $73.44 into a random contest winner generator.

Donation link https://nlbm.com/donations/

Winner to receive both Hank Aaron cards posted. Thanks for playing.
(I'll be using a freebie random contest picker app so you'll have to trust me on the winner)

If you give and continue to give, you become richer and richer all the time, richer in terms of happiness and well-being.

I know you picked $73.83 because that was the amount people donated last year, but I donated $73.44 this time in honor of Hank Aaron. If the $0.39 difference disqualifies me from the drawing, I'll be fine. I'm hoping to get a chance to visit the museum some day.

Very nice. You're in Jay. I think we'll run with your idea, donation amount changed to reflect Hammerin' Hank #44.

Nice idea, Phil. I did their Buck O'Neil Walk/Run a few month back and the swag they sent plus the postage probably cost them as much as the entry fee. Been meaning to donate to fix that. Thanks for the prompt.
