A Klov brother is in the fight of his life. Scott was generous enough to donate his collection to ACAM http://www.classicarcademuseum.org/ , this is a huge gift to the collecting community. Now it's our turn.

A dream for Scott would be to come to CAX this year. Scott feels as though he should be able to make it and would love to spend a weekend at the show with us. Mounting medical costs would prevent this so I am asking my fellow Klovers to help make this happen for him. The CAX team has been generous enough to offer Scott a free weekend pass. I think the goal to cover airfare,hotel, and meals should be somewhere between $1000 and $1500.



I can enlist another klover and have people paypal me, I can then pm the amount to the enlisted klover, and have that klover pm back to the person donating and confirming the amount so we have a third party in the loop.

I would keep a running total on here and update it every day or two.

It would be up to each person if they wanted their name and/or amount listed. If you can only donate a small amount it is nothing to be ashamed of. Every little bit helps, even if it's $5 ( and it can remain confidential)

As soon as the dates are announced, we will use the money to buy his plane ticket and book his room.

I can promise you that your donations will be extremely confidential. If you would like to donate and do not feel comfortable dealing with me, then I can enlist another klover to take the donation. The main thing is that we get Scott to CAX .


Scott is a huge arcade enthusiast and I can tell by the conversations I have had with him that this would really be a great thing for him.

You can donate at my paypal :

[email protected]

or you can send a money order or personal check ( pm me for my address). I will enlist another klover soon and post his contact info in case you would rather deal with someone besides me.


Let's do this !

Edit: If you don't mind, please PM your amount so I can track it and make sure it comes through ok.
Edit #2 : I think what might be easier, is to wait until the donations are in and then have a local klover come to my house and look at my paypal and pm's and verify the total if that is ok with all of you.

I'm in. Sending a contribution now. Would love to see Scott be able to make it!!!
 
Arc,

I'll toss in a free repair of a game board (of the types I repair) for the largest contributor - even covering return shipping in the US/Canada.

For the 2nd largest contributor, I have an X-Men vs. Street Fighter CPS2 B board that I'll toss in, including shipping in the US/Canada.

(Or reverse that if the largest contributor wants...)

That is awesome guys. And no amount is too small so don't feel like you have to knock a grand slam out of the park. Base hits all add up.

I will keep you posted for the repair and Xmen board winners !
 
A noble effort. I'd be in but I have one major concern. Seeing how 1000-1500 is a pretty big goal to try and achieve, there is the possibility that not enough funds to complete the task. Would a registry/name list with a confirmed pledge amount be a better idea before folks start sending dough? I'm being pessimestic I know, but say you only get 800 bucks by the cutoff date? What then?

Or perhaps if you begin collecting all our donations and it becomes obvious that a determined amount is not reached, we can all vote on how else to use the funds for V6? Examples would be maybe gift cards, other vacation passes, concerts, fine dining, strippers, whatever.

Would do you think?

I firmly believe we will achieve our goal and if not we can cross that bridge when we get to it.

I just took in 5 donations totaling $370.00

You guys are awesome and don't forget to PM so I can reply and confirm your donations. They are coming in fast enough to where it could take me a little to get caught up.

You would be surprised what people can do if they band together. There was a user on RGP that had his entire family hit by a car while they were out riding their bikes together. The wife and kids got it the worst and there were some large rehab therapy and hospital bills. One guy started a post just like this on RGP and they raised over $13,000 for his family. Yes...that's 13 thousand, not hundred.
 
WOW! Thats amazing! makes me feel kinda bad i couldnt send more, but every bit helps and this is awesome the response! :)

Seriously, dont feel that way. If 20 people felt like $1 was not worth sending ( You sent a lot more than that) then that would be $20 we would lose out on. It does all add up and it is all adding up thanks to all of you.
