Donating to Barry Greenstein's Charity (LOL DOCUMENTS)

[costanza_g]

Someone needs to get this on the news, not only is it awesome.....but it probably shows us players in a better light.

I think we should get a letter from the CEO estimating how much we've donated (along with a hearty thanks of course) and ship it to Mr Frist with a note saying lolyouwerewrongaments

Beat: BBV donated $20K+ to Childrens Inc
Brag: Barry has probably donated millions in his life
Variance: The fact that a bunch of "crazy internet poker kids" have donated 20k+ to this charity prolly makes Barry feel better about himself than anything he could have donated himself.

I mean, the guy has been doing this for years and never really advertised it or took glory for it. He's cool and plays along with a prop bet from a railbird and all of a sudden the charity that he trusts the most is getting manna from the heavens because of it. And its not some big company giving them a donation, its hundreds of people that the government has basically pooped on for the last year or more of their lives that rose up and made a difference.

I just think its beyond BALLA that at a time in our lives when things are looking bleak for the future of online gambling and some of our incomes, this community came together for one cause and made a difference. A few years from now all of this online money might be gone and we'll have memories of the battles but somewhere in America there might be a BBV playground built or a BBV clubhouse that kids can enjoy. I hope everyone that donated on this thread gets blessed with karma and kindness for a looong time.

They can use the money however they want but I'd love to see them build a playground somewhere and then post pictures of kids enjoying it on this forum.

FWIW, Streetmagicblog wasn't Nos1nos2, I checked a while back. Still an obvious troll.

This is pretty awesome. The ease with which 20K was raised is pretty crazy, and that's from probably one of the more busto forums here.

I agree with the poster above - Barry, one more thing...

Could you please thank Mori, Eric, and whoever else made the decision to put that part in the show? The producers didn't need to air an inside joke, but the fact that they did made all of this possible as well.

Did anyone else have problems with their site? I have hit "submit payment" a couple times and it will not advance to the next page.

Nevermind I got it....

I am a terrible low limit player, but I had to do my part!

Is there anyone legit like ChrisV who accepts FTP transfers?

I don't have a CC or a stars account. I left 30something$ on PartyPoker and since I can't play there anymore I could ship that to the kids, but min transfer is 50$.

Just donated $30.00, will post screen shot when I get it. Proud to be a part of this effort.
