As I sit here on my couch looking back on the last couple of months all I can say is "wow" This summer has been a truely amazing. Demo day, Gorge Games, the Blowout and finally KB4C. What an incredible kiting community we have, one that knows how to play hard and then can come together and pull of the most successful kiteboard fundraising event ever- anywhere! My hat is off to you all Smile

I want to throw down a challenge- so far we have raised around 92K which is unbelivelable, but I know we can top 100K. Think of it- one hundred thousand dollars. The online donations are back open. Find those couple of people who said they would donate, but forgot or the family you haven't asked yet. If we all can raise $75 more we can truely go over the top!

You all rock-

Here are a few picture to inspire all of you Laughing

funny, I still have donations coming in! (I keep getting emails from active.com). I must have been a little 'over-zealous'. I don't think it would be that hard to get the last $8K! sure would be cool to top 6 digits.

100K all the way!

We decided to step up and match 20% of our total donations for a last minute add to our totals.

Now is the time also, if you get any calls from friends that missed out on the donation process and using the opportunity for them to still donate!

Every bit helps.

Pepi- that is awesome! We just got another $1000 donation last night. I am going to down load the credit card machine today so I will be posting a current count later today.

Pepi- can you PM with the total from 2nd wind so I can add that in? thanks
