Tremendous Stubble Charity Drive: The Fun Part

UPDATE (Friday, 1:50pm Central): Been in touch with the wonderful MU Health people, and we're beginning the donation process (getting the money from PayPal to them, basically). I'll keep you guys apprised and will giddily announce a final total when, you know, the money is actually donated, but let's put it this way: you guys freakin' rule.

If you haven't donated yet but still want to, we encourage you to follow this link and donate directly to the MU Children's Hospital. Or, if you donated and want to donate again, go to that link. You know, you should just bookmark that link.

So, in short: you guys rule, and if you haven't donated yet, send it directly to the hospital instead of to me. K THX BYE.

Star-divide

Hey, you guys remember a few weeks ago, when we started pledging money to the MU Children's Hospital for all of the good things that the Mizzou softball team did in the Women's College World Series?

Well, the season finally came to an end for the Mizzou softball team and our super best friend Ehren "Tremendous Stubble" Earleywine, but not before making a little history (what up, first win in Oklahoma City) and a lot of money.

And now, we ask you to make good on your pledges.

If you forgot what you pledged, go back to the original post and find it. Then, use this handy-dandy cumulative guide of all of the occurrences during MU's WCWS run to calculate your own total.

7 wins
9 home runs
2 shutouts
1 appearance in the Final 8
2 run-rule victories
81 strikeouts by Chelsea Thomas and Kristin Nottelman
8 Mizzou walks in the fifth inning
1 15-strikeout performance by Chelsea Thomas
74 strikeouts by Chelsea Thomas (side note: LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL)
17 extra-base hits

We ask that you send in your donation by Friday, June 10 at noon. That way, we can send it along to the MU Children's Hospital before the weekend.

And, look: I'm not going to hound people about making good on their pledges. If you're going to welch on your pledge, that's your prerogative, and I'm not going to go looking up who did and didn't make good. But before you consider welching, consider this:

Cmn2011_medium

via 

A cheap ploy to make you feel bad about welching on your pledge? Yes. Effective? Also yes.

If you have any questions, leave 'em in the comments. Otherwise, here's yo' donation link, peeps.

[I removed the link because you should probably just donate directly to the hospital now. -ghtd36]
And, as always, we can't thank you, the RMN Community, enough for your generosity. You guys freakin' rule. Bully!

One other thing:

The fine folks with MU Health have asked that I send all of the donation receipts, which include your name and address, to them so that they can help you with tax deductions.

If you’d prefer I didn’t forward them your information, for whatever reason, let me know.

I really can’t stress enough how awesome this idea was. The softball team should be so, so proud of themselves and this will be yet another reminder of how proud they should be. I can’t wait to do something like this again next year. I’m putting it out there right now that next year my donation will be $1 per Chelsea Thomas K.

Thanks, Greg. Also, just to make sure…did anyone see any Tremendous Stubble signs make a broadcast? Because I didn’t, and that was my prop bet. You’re all slackers.

Of the run-rule and shut out games,

One was a run rule,
one was a shut out
one was a run rule that was also a shutout….

No?

so, to be clear, I mean these to be cumulative.
there were 3 games with run rules and/or shut outs, one of which was an AND, and the other two of which were ORs, right?

Game 1 vs. Illinois State was a run-rule.

Game 3 vs. DePaul was both a run-rule and a shutout.

I think I missed out with no prop bets, though I was cheering for more walks in the 5th. I’ll have to re-think this for next year.

Great idea, well executed, and overall a great time.

Paypal is giving me the run around (STOOPID PAYPAL).

Is there another way to send the money? Like maybe a normal reg’lar online visa pay?

by Wan Ihite on Jun 6, 2011 4:43 PM CDT reply actions  

I did that too

but then it told me I couldn’t use that card to do this (no idea why not), and then I got grumpy with it.

I do actually have a paypal account from back in the day with a verified address, but then they always want oodles more out of you – confirming bank accounts and such – which also makes me grumpy. Plus I’ve heard stories from friends about PayPal unilaterally seizing their balances and refusing to give it back, so I have a fairly limited tolerance for them to start with.

In fact, it seems like they might continue letting me use this credit card

if I give them my bank account information, but I really don’t feel like doing that. Forget you, intrusive Pay Pal people!

I’m happy to use a normal credit card, or even to mail a check I guess, or to give cash money to Bill C when he shows up to get Tiger Bartender’s check, but I’m too grumpy to jump through extra hoops for paypal for this every small amount of money.

So, are our names on the donation or is it all under your name? I can’t get my company match if the hospital doesn’t have a donation from me (yes, I paid via PayPal).

He said that the hospital requested
all of the donation receipts, which include your name and address, to them so that they can help you with tax deductions.

Presumably, that means they will send something to you proving that you donated $x to them. Would that be sufficient for your company match?
