It'll probably be sometime around 7 or 8 -ish Central time tomorrow (Wednesday). Don't want to give an exact time in case life gets in the way and I'm delayed a bit and people get all riled up!!

It was received, thank you! You were the final donation.

A grand total of $885 was donated, with $845.20 surviving the PayPal charges. There are 1131 tickets in the bucket that I'll draw tonight sometime between 7 and 8 pm Central time. Pictures of the tickets will be posted with a chance for the winners to claim their prize!! (I'll already know who won and will post their names later if needed.)

Before the names are picked this evening, I just want to thank everyone for their kind, unselfish ways. I knew we had caring people at CS.com, just not this caring!! It's really opened my eyes to the benevolence (I found a thesaurus!) of people in general. I've received a PM or two or three thanking me for putting this together, but quite honestly thanks to the 38 people who donated for the benefit of Kimber. Thanks also for trusting in me to collect the donations and pass them on to Kimber and her family. In today's world of internet scams and rip-offs, I truly appreciate the trust many of you placed in me. Now y'all just have to wait until this evening!! :D

Could it be both events at once? Oh, man, the pressure--!! :eek: Although, when we were at the hospital after my water broke waiting for our daughter to be born, all we had was an old Japanese sci-fi movie, and it wasn't even Godzilla. OK, that was almost 14 years ago.

Lies! They actually told us on the hospital tour that we could bring our lap tops.
So I'll have my itunes, the internet and solitare!

This has been such a great success. Thank you so much Brent for organizing it all, and thank you everyone for participating! I can't wait to see who gets that awesome pair.
