Dear xxxxxxx

Thank you so much for your participation in the LOL Donkaments Charity Drive! Your generous support this month means so much in assisting us with or mission of helping children who are suffering from deprivation and poverty.

One of our greates challenges, on a daily basis, is to find sponsors for the many children on our program. This is a major concern as children are often waiting months and sometimes years to be chosen and it is heartbreaking for us not to be able to fill that need sooner. In determining the greatest need for which to use these funds you have contributed, I am delighted to share with you that the success of this challenge has impelled us to set up a special "Barry Greenstein LOL Donkamenst Fund." This fund will now perpetually provide a number of our unsponsored children with monthly assistance until a sponsor can be found. I cannot thank you enough for your part in providing this much needed assistance to benefit our "waiting"children.

We are also taking into consideration the suggestion from some of you that perhaps we could provide a playground with some of the funds donated an dhave asked the directors of our Appalachian and American Indian Divisions to research the possibility.

Thanks to the initiative, involvement, and hartfelt giving of contributors like you, we are able to make a positive, hope-filled impact on many young lives.

With heartfelt thanks, and deepest appreciation, I am

Sincerely yours,

[hand-signed]

Marian G Cummins
President &amp; CEO

P.S. I want to thank you also for the excitement and intrigue we experienced when the donations began to come in and we had no idea what had prompted them except that Barry's name was mentioned. Then it was such fun and so entertaining for the staff to read all the entries to the Blog.

Just got hand-signed letter. Sweet

Re: Donating to Barry Greenstein\'s Charity (LOL DOCUMENTS)
 

An update from the CEO:

Dear Barry,

You may recall that there were some suggestions from the participants in this challenge to perhaps use some of the funds for a playground. As I mentioned in my letter of appreciation to each, we asked for requests from our American Indian, Appalachian and Inner City Divisions.

We received one comprehensive request from our American Indian Elementary School, Puente de Hozho, in Flagstaff, Arizona. Their mission is to provide every student with the ability to speak, read, write and think in both English and a second language (Spanish or Navajo). Students with dual language skills are better prepared to meet the challenges of a global society with enhanced cognitive skills; better cross-cultural communication; enhanced problem-solving skills; and a global societal perspective.

They have a small, outdated playground (approximately 350 x 350) serving a student population of 438 mostly low-income students. The playground is used before school, at lunch break and during recess periods as the only play area for kindergarten through sixth grade students. Active physical play is recognized as an important element of child development and an intregal part of quality education. Puente de Hozho would like to be able to upgrade the playground to provide a safe, well organized facility, consistent with the high quality academic environment of the school.

Their request:
One pair of soccer goals $2,000
6 outdoor basketball hoops/nets $240
4 tetherball sets $600
2 outdoor tables with benches $1,500
3 outdoor benches $1,200
Line courts and field $2,000
Rehabilitation of primary play area:
Replace top of retaining structure $2,000
Resurface with impact safe rubber surfacing $14,000 - If possible

Total $23,540

We received $14,991 in February, $22,051 in March and so far this month, $7,761, for a total of $44,803. We have already allocated $20,160 to the Donkaments Haven Account to provide perpetual monthly assistance for 60 children while they are waiting to be chosen by a sponsor. That leaves enough to cover this request and we will still have $1,103 to assist even more of our 'waiting' children.

We had requests from three projects in our Appalachian Division for $6000 each to replace playground equipment or buy mulch, but we feel the Puente de Hozho playground would be a real tribute and would be consistent with the suggestions from the participating players.

Could you please share your thoughts on this matter?

Barry, the total of $44,803 is incredible and we are ever so grateful to you and your following for taking the challenge to reach such a remarkable figure. You also had three terrific persons who chose to sponsor children individually!

I hope your heart is swelling with pride as mine is for all that you have made possible.

With admiration and sincere gratitude, I am

Sincerely yours,

Marian

Re: Donating to Barry Greenstein\'s Charity (LOL DOCUMENTS)
 

This is awesome news. Thanks Barry for being a good sport about the t-shirts and everything else involved with raising this money, no matter how silly some of it was.

Re: Donating to Barry Greenstein\'s Charity (LOL DOCUMENTS)
 

That sounds cool.

As long as my money goes to basketball and not tetherball.

[censored] tetherball.

BBV Playground sounds good to me. Cheers for the update Barry.

BBV is like a superhero.

Re: Donating to Barry Greenstein\'s Charity (LOL DOCUMENTS)
 

Just like to add...

The shirt drive raised almost $2k for Children's, Inc. When I get around to getting the other shirts on ebay/two donkaments for shirts we should be over that amount.

I haven't sent the money to C, Inc. yet because I'm still making sure most of the shirts got to their destinations. I got the first "Return to Sender" today, hopefully that gets worked out soon.

Re: Donating to Barry Greenstein\'s Charity (LOL DOCUMENTS)
 

yay soccer goals! when i was in 5th grade someone decided it would be a good idea to swing a tether ball and try to throw it as far as they could. they threw it all the way to the basketball court across the playground, at which point the hook attached to my forehead while the ball kept going. I went from running down the court to collapsed in a bloody heap for like 10 minutes before they took me to the hospital for stitches. so yeah, eff tether ball.

Re: Donating to Barry Greenstein\'s Charity (LOL DOCUMENTS)
 

I gave $500 from another poker discussion site a few weeks ago when I heard about this drive. I just received a letter from Marian asking me to stop by and visit them (I live in Richmond) and report back to Barry and you guys. I'll try to make arrangements to do that next week.

Re: Donating to Barry Greenstein\'s Charity (LOL DOCUMENTS)
 

I thought I'd bump this to say: Did we get a playground? Where is it? Can I visit?
