[Yuv]

Donated 25$ via Ansky (my CC doesn't really work). He'll confirm and post image when he has time.

Wow I just found this thread (didn't visit BBV in a week or so). My mere SSNL contribution:

The “Robin Hood” of poker and his “Merry Men” strike again!

Forgive us at Children, Incorporated if we sound rather giddy on the phone this week. Monday, February 25th, world poker player – Barry Greenstein – initiated a wave of generous donations to Children, Incorporated. To date, we have processed a total of $15,097 donated by the players of the 2+2 Forums. The amount changes by the minute as staffers of Children, Incorporated frantically try to keep up. What a wonderful problem to have! “We estimate we have already received over 200 contributions ranging from $20 to $1500 each and more coming in as I write this. This is incredible!” commented Children, Incorporated CEO, Marian Cummins.

All funds donated by the players of the 2+2 Forums will be used to assist the children on our program who are waiting to be sponsored. We at Children, Incorporated cannot express enough our gratitude to all of you associated with the 2+2 Forums. Your generosity will provide children all over the world with food, clothing, school supplies, school tuition, and healthcare. We are forever grateful for your investment in the future of our children.

We have certainly changed life in the Children, Incorporated office in Richmond, Virginia, as evidenced by their press release and this e-mail I received. (I hope someone visits the office and reports back.)

Barry,

Just wanted to share with you that this event has stirred up more excitement than one could ever imagine! Everyone is now glued to their computers following the blogs and as you had mentioned earlier…. It is fun and entertaining.

Again, we just cannot thank you enough!!

Marian

CI is very good with feedback and we will eventually get exact statements detailing how the money was spent. Often it is just for things like sleeping bags, clothing, and school supplies, but maybe there will be extra for a BBV playground somewhere.

I'm glad we are all able to share in the enjoyment of actually making a difference. Many people go through life without having this experience. This should provide extra incentive for all of us to do well, so we can make a difference whenever we hit it big in whatever we do.

I am now in debt to all of you. I will become the Charlotte's Web of poker as I utter cryptic messages on national TV. If I win an all-in pot in my NBC Heads-up match tomorrow against Carlos, I will say, "Ship it crucial," provided I can do it in a polite way.

Barry
