Donations to the Disaster Relief for the Indian Ocean Earthquake

[GTS Jeff]

id like to suggest that we start a fund for those affected by the indian ocean earthquake. i or one of the mods can create a paypal account, then when all the money is collected, we can make one huge donation to unicef or red cross under the beyond.ca name. weve got a lot of people on this board and i know a lot of you are decent people who will help out for a worthy cause.

what do u guys think?

I'm a supporter of this Idea.

As a Beyond Mod I will spearhead this initiative as I hardly use my paypal account anymore.

Anyone wishing to make a donation to this cause can do so by clicking this link and making a donation.


I will keep this acct open for the next week, as well as will be at the 403 meet tonight to take cash donations, and then will make a donation in beyonds name to the charity you all prefer.

Thanks for being a great group beyond.

Sounds liek a good idea. I wouldn't mind donating a few dollars.

Can you still donate without a paypal account?

[Skylinelover]

^ You you just have to meet up with them or mail the money to them.

I've heard figures of 68,000 and they haven't even gotten into the remote areas yet. Plus all those bodies buried and adrift in the ocean. I also heard that the number of dead right now could double if disease strikes like they predict it will.

Make sure you add your beyond username to all donations, so that I can keep track, and do a formal thankyou and such.

[Ben]

wow, donation link active for 3 minutes and already have a donation.

Great Job Ben. I donated, not much but thats all I could afford right now. Guys do not hesitate to donate for a noble cause. Think of it like spending money at Mcdonalds or something.

EDIT: yeah, I just did. Did it before your second post so didnt put my name and stuff though.

[Ben]

Thanks for the donation!

[Strider]

done...
didn't see a place to put my beyond username though

I suggest you move the thread so it gets more exposure
