    Rob has been kind enough to allow me to post this, so here goes.

    As many of you know, I am very big into giving to charity- and in school, I've become super involved with a club called "Students of Albany Against Cancer". This year, I've been elected to the cabinet and to be a captain of one of the teams for our annual fundraiser called "Relay for Life". RFL is basically an 18 hour marathon in which each team has to have at least one member running/jogging/walking on the track- and is used to raise awareness as well as $$$ for the American Cancer Society.

    This year, they've set up a website that allows friends to donate directly to the Cancer Society and raise $ for the team. Of course, as this is a charitable donation, it is tax deductible, and you will be able to use your credit card as it is a secured site.

    I ask that you please donate to my team, as various Fchatters have already done; even $20 makes a difference.

    The link:

    Thank you very much, and please let me know when you donate!

    P.S. An address has been requested by a few members who would rather pay in check form. If you're interested, you can make the checks payable to "American Cancer Society" and sent directly to me:

    We also have an ACS Relay for Life here in the spring which my house (and many other greek houses) volunteer for doing things such as cooking food, setting up, keeping candles lit, running the registration tent and stuff like that. 2 years ago we raised over $55,000. Last year wasnt as great, but hopefully this year will be better. If people really like donating i will post the link to one (sport or fraternity) of the teams i am on once i know it.
    Its one of the better causes that everyone can relate to because everyone has been affected by cancer, either directly or through someone they know/love.

    Duplicating a post I made elsewhere...
    I'm glad to support such a good cause, and to be able to do it alongside my EC friends.

    Good cause, Kenny.

    So, where are the other EC guyZ?

    Tim, I appreciate that you also have a cause to raise money for but please do not do it on Kenny's post.

    This post is for Kenny's cause.

    thank you

    Its the same cause.

    I wasnt trying to detract from Kenny's goal of raising money. I did not post a link to or any info on how to donate to my team (ie. no solicitation) so i fail to see any wrongdoing on my part.

    This is the quote why I put what I put Tim. I know it's for the same cause which is great but I made that comment so people can give through Kenny's site. We all give to different causes but didn't want to take away from Kenny's personal goal of $10,000.
