AIDS Charity Run

You'll find lots of prior experience with such things on here.
Never a "bad" idea, per se, and your cause is certainly a noble one. It's the execution that matters. A few people on here should be able to help you with good logistical ideas.

Good luck. Depending on date/time, I'd likely join.
Best,
J.

 

id be willing to help with any of my cars. Just give me a heads up as to the date. Maybe we should make magnets up for the side of the doors or something. Also maybe a police escort might be in line for an event like this?

A cool idea might be to do something like you donate 25 cents a mile or something, kinda like how BMW does it.

 

PM John (niptuck) and Hovik, and maybe Ludmilla. They all have organized runs before (John and Ludmilla have done some for charities I know).

Shivam's a great guy, too, but he can be a bad influence (J/K)

EDIT: One other thing, helping reduce AIDS in South Africa is a very good cause, especially since, I have heard, S.A. has the world's highest infection rate. However, if I know this board at all, just be prepared for lots of people to ask why you aren't doing something about AIDS here in the US. I am NOT saying you shouldn't do it for S.A. -- just noting that it's likely people may feel a little more ready to participate in something a little more domestically-oriented. Me, I'm there for anything having to do with slowing the spread of AIDS *anywhere*... Either way, I think you'll get a good turn out. People on this section are generally very good and consciencious.

 

Yeah this is coming from the guy who PERSONALLY STOPPED ME from donating to Product Red. Some help you are

 

When were you thinking of doing this?

You took my words right out of my mouth. I had the same argument this week with the wife.

Yes, any charity is a good thing. But why cant we do a good thing for the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA???? We live here, we eat here, we work here and apparently some go to school here.

We need to cure our country of all that afflicts us. Then we can save the world!

Just my 2 cents.....thanks and good luck with your event!

 

PAY CUTS FOR COPS NOW!!!

On April 1st I will be organizing a charity run that demands (nay INSISTS) that police officers take an across the board 23% paycut. The saved revenue should then be used to build a giant wall between the US and Canada (because as Lewis Black claims "that's where the cold comes from"). So on April 1st Remember -- cops have guns and badges, why do they need pay and health insurance too!

 

Just cause your wife allows you some "Computer time" doesnt mean you can speak freely. Go back to viewing your "SHIM" Porn and behave!!!!

 

Wait, does an AIDs run mean you are for AIDs or against it? Personally I'm on the fence on the issue.

In regards to your run, most people choose to donate to charities privately. If you want to get people to do join it has to be more then just a "good cause." You need some sort of hook, eg a visiting celeb, some crazy route, or a beautiful and usually unavailable location. Nip's event is good because it's in Manhattan and a ton of cool cars come. I don't care if the money goes to help retarded midgets with add -- I still wanna have fun spending my money!

PS - don't forget the tax forms so people can file all donations on their taxes!

PPS - Barry did you check the thread for dinner on Feb 2nd?

 

+1,000,000. But I think we should keep this argument to the Politics & Religion thread, where the real Fchat flag wavers live....

This thread is about a good cause. Good luck with it. If and when it happens, let us know.
