Thanks for the update. We'll definitely keep your charity in mind next year when we decide where to distribute monies.
Congratulations on your event(s) and grant. There must be an awesome amount of personal time directed to making such a successful gathering. You all must have amazing families and employer support to devote so much of yourself to your cause. |

Thanks to everyone on this forum and in this community who has so generously donated to this cause, even after the event...
I feel that this community has gone above and beyond in fundraising and would like to offer everyone a break. I'm sure everyone is eagerly awaiting the opportunity to tattoo Garret's cheek, but I feel the need to go global here. The kiteboarding community at large needs to be aware of this event, the efforts of this community, and something to look forward to next year. So, here's their chance to contribute...
Starting this Thursday and going through next Thursday, Kiteforum.com will host an online auction for KB4C, through post threads, to raise additional funds to get us to $100K. We are auctioning off two items: Andre Phillip's wetsuit (worn by Andre once while he was here in the Gorge) and a Xbox Gamer's package donated by the Microsoft Xbox Lead Designer himself, John Ikeda.
Of course, everyone here is welcome to participate! I'm sure a live forum auction on Kiteforum.com will be nothing less than entertaining. I'll post a link here as soon as it goes live.

Great idea Tonia.....hopefully this can put KB4C over the top. So stoked that you are putting in all this extra effort even after the event. Thank you so much for all your hard work and dedication   |

Yes, I'll post the link when it's up... Toby, the moderator, is in Germany, so our time delay is delaying the link until tomorrow.
Thanks!

Looks great!
Tonia, maybe you should post the size of Dre's wetsuit? I'm guessing not everyone knows his dimensions.
Thanks.

Is there a reason why donations are not being made locally to either or both, Legacy Emanuel Children's Hospital for Cancer or Doernbecher Children's Hospital at OHSU?
Thanks for clarifying. |
