Wow, I quess its kind of like the 12 days of Christmass or the chosen 12. But anyway, the gifts / prizes will begin to be shipped this week via USPS Priorty Mail ( some items have not been received yet ). Some of you may get multiple shipments. I find it rather humerous that the response rate was 1% ( 12 out of 1,200 ).

So if they were too big/much they probably will get a fast food gift cerfitficate right?

UMMMM wow. All I can say is wow. I received my visit from the Elf today, and I was flabbergasted. That's right, I said it, flabbergasted. Rick, you are an extraordinarily kind man, and what you do to this site (on it and off) is unparalleled. Thank you so much.

As I've said to you before SFOC, you are such an amazing, caring, generous human being. What you have done here is beyond words.

I thank you from the bottom of the heart for your generous gift. I can't begin to tell you what a difference it will make to my third graders!

Thank you again,

Christina

[AlexanderTheGreat13]

Did you find the Micky D's ?

[Soxfan1]

You sent Mickey D's certificates???? Damn no wonder the mailman was opening it!!! LOL jk

 

Did everyone 50 bucks worth? I thought that was a lot if you are already buying a present.

[Manny Goes Boom]

So, should we make a thread to show what we got???

 

Thanks again Cape. Your awesome.

[riverside sluggers]

Remember, this thread is different from the Secret Santa thread. To answer your question, not everyone received gift certificates for food ( some didn't sepecify a favorate place and some didn't offer a gift certificate ). So here was the breakout per person :

 

Gift Cert. for Food :

$ 20 - $ 100

 

Gift Cert. for Merchandise :

$ 100 - $ 200

 

Actual Gifts :

$ 30 - $ 250

 

Cost of Holiday Spirit :

Priceless

Yours SHOULD be waiting for you in your mailbox 26 to 6. I live in AZ and I got mine yesterday, and I'm a whole lot farther away from him than you are. So go check bro.

Having the roughest weekend In my life right now

Just wanted to publicly thank Sox Fan on Cape for the $200 donation to the Boys & Girls Clubs of Metrowet. The money has gone toward a video game system called DDR or Dance Dance Revolution. If you have never seen the game here is a picture of it here.

 

http://www.healthycommunitymhc.org/HCI/content/images/DSC03029.JPG although this is not a picture of how our system is set-up it's a similar example (our set-up is much nicer)!

The best part of the game is that there have been many reports of teens losing weight and getting fit playing the game. Trust me it’s a WORK-OUT! We are starting a DDR Fitness Tournament night. On the work-out setting it will tell you how many calories you burn playing the game (estimated from your weight ect). At the end of the night whom ever burns the most calories wins! What the win has not yet been figured out yet. We are trying to figure out something “healthy” to award the winner each tournament night.

 

Again THANK YOU SFOC you rock! In a couple of days you should receive a picture of the members using the game system, a thank you card, and a tax receipt for the donation with our tax ID# so you can claim the donation on your taxes. If it was not for people like you the programs that the Boys & Girls Clubs run would not be possible and many children would be without the club’s services. Over 50% of club alumni nation wide said in a recent survey that the club “saved their lives”. So you can feel as you “saved a life (or 2)”.
