I really don't want anyone to feel obligated to donate and am definitely not trying to ruin anyone's ST experience.
I found 3 world class athletes that wanted to help me out by donating something of value for my raffle. Jorgensen was going to give Oakleys but actually switched it at the last second because she thought I would make more $. I thought many would jump at the opportunity to be coached by Andy Potts. I thought ST of all places would be an OK place to post a raffle about some Triathlon Prizes.
I am an Arizona teacher who raced IMAZ last year through SmileTrain. My race didn't go as well as I would have hoped, but at the end of the day, I was able to raise $3k and create 12 smiles. THAT is why I believe in SmileTrain. It's bigger then just the race.
MIKE S- I would hope that you follow through with your public claim to donate to James H. It'd be a shame just to say that just to prove a point.
