Are they doing a drawing each week? Drawing every few days?

If you get your name drawn early on for a smaller prize, do you lose your chance at the date prize?

Can you donate up to Valentine's Day?

The only thing I understand is that the drawing for the date is on Valentine's Day. If you get drawn early and your name gets taken out of the date drawing, then it seems to make the most sense to donate as much as you can stand right before the date drawing on Valentine's Day (and after the last drawing before the date drawing).

DK, do they have more specific explanations on their site?

No, that's all the explanation they have. I don't know how often they do the drawing once it starts, but since there are no limit to the number of entries I'm assuming if you'd get drawn for one prize, you'd still stand a chance for more prizes, depending on how many entries you put in. I doubt they'd remove your name completely (at least I'm hoping they wouldn't).

If it is one prize per person, I guess you'd have the option of forfeiting a smaller prize for a larger one? Maybe I should ask.

Okay, I was just informed that if you win one of the 'earlier' prizes, you do not forfeit your chances for later ones.

Perfect timing for my little story.. Please see the following and mail a card if you can..I know first hand just how the cards brightened up a sick kid at Christmas time..

A 5 year old boy, Noah Biorkman, is in the last stages of a 2 1/2 year battle with Neuroblastoma Cancer. The family is celebrating Christmas next week and Noah's request is to get lots of Christmas cards... Let's get him some! Please send cards to: Noah Biorkman 1141 Fountain View Circle South Lyon, MI 48178. Let's see... how many cards we can get to this little guy!

I have it posted on my facebook account. Do you think I should put it on GALS too Nay just to get this young man some more cards?

*shakes head*

Why are you shaking your head?

Oggs, I think posting that on Gals is a good idea. People have been Tweeting it, too.

I'm not shaking my head for ga;s or what...I'm shaking it for the idea of the date idea.

So many ideas went through my head...having worked behind the scenes...I'll just keep them to myself.

Good luck to all who give for a good cause. I'm sure the fundraiser will be a wicked success. I wouldn't be surprised at the amount that will be raised, for something like this.

But, I think any of us want to give, we should all do it in DK's name and see if we can win her a date with Gman.

Just suggesting...

Aww, that's very generous of you and MUCH appreciated. I'm honored, but I'm sure the other ladies here would want that date just as much as I would.

If it's meant to be, it will be. If not, then I didn't need it anyway. The other prizes ain't too shabby, either!
