I know I PMd you, but yeah, the check. lol I'll be sending mine when I get paid next week. My charming piece o' crap car is at the mechanic where they are lovingly taking advantage of the fact I am a girl and know nothing about cars; and probably charging me by the hour...at this point it's been over 26. I'll be broke until next week.

I'm going to post the initials of those who have sent checks (like I did last year) just so you know I've received it. I will also post an updated tally of how much money we've raised so far. If anyone else still needs my address, please PM me.

This cause is always so worthy, but I've been thinking that this year, of all years, it would be especially nice if we could make an extra good group showing of our support for this important charity that is so dear to Bernadette's heart.
The official arrangements are being made a little later than usual this year, so it's easy to feel that there's not enough time or that you don't have enough money. Remember the checks will not be cashed until June at least, so if you're feeling temporarily poor, that may not be a problem after all. Also, every little bit helps, so no matter how small your donation is, it's still important. If you can only send $5 just go ahead and do it. It will be greatly appreciated.
The sooner Mandy gets our checks, the sooner she can post a preliminary total. The sooner she does that, the sooner we will know whether we're falling short of our goal and how much extra we need to make up.
I just wrote my check and will be mailing it first thing tomorrow morning. I hope everyone digs deep in their pockets and follows suit. It'll make you feel good!

Uh oh! Time's a flying, folks.
We're doing well, but I'm getting a little worried that we're not quite as close to our goal as we should be at this point. If you're still interested in being part of the group donation, now is definitely the time to get your check in the mail. No more leeway left for procrastinating.
Just think how much money we'd raise if everyone reading this sent a check for as little as $5. Come on. Everyone can afford $5. You can too!

I was planning on using our same "title" from last year as long as no one disagrees. I also am not sure if our individual names will be included this year. Last year they were, but this year I dont know. I need to know if there is anyone who would not like their name printed in the playbill. If you do not want it printed, please PM me. If you've already told me, then we are good to go.
Thanks everyone. Our total is now $1250!

Just wanted to give everyone a final total for our Broadway Barks donation. First, let me thank everyone for being so generous. I was initially worried that we would not reach our goal, but in the end we raised $1520!
Thanks again everyone! I'm mailing the donations out tomorrow morning.

How wonderful! We've far exceeded last year's total. It's exciting to think of all the good our contributions will do.
Thanks everyone, and thanks Mandy for once again coordinating everything so well!

FYI...I just found out that our names will be individually listed in the Playbill again this year along with the group "title" (unless you specifically asked to not be listed.)

I wanted to pass along a portion of an email I just received regarding this years event. It's from the production coordinator for BB8:
"Just wanted to let you know that this year we raised about $90,000 and that after all applications are reviewed there will probably be about 60 adoptions! Thanks again for all your help and for helping to make Broadway Barks the success it is."

I'm excited that we raised so much this year.
