I just want to clarify that I'm the #1 individual fund raiser. You guys are the donors. So while its my name there, it's 100% due to your efforts and amazing generosity. There are nearly 300 of you responsible for that. So far I've been contacted by phone and nine by BCH, Extra Life and Children's Miracle Network Hospitals and they're overwhelmed by your support. This was back when we were at $6000ish raised. I told them we were just getting started.
Also, Team Turbine is the #3 overall team, but we are the #1 team raising funds for Boston Children's Hospital.
To put that in context there are nearly 12,000 fund raisers and about 2,000 teams currently involved in Extra Life.
Also, while $9300 is awesome, Team Turbine has raised just over $16,000 so far. Celesteata, Clover, Associate Producer Hannah Foell (#3 fund raiser for BCH!) , DDO's community manager Tolero (gunning for $1800!), and a host of engineers, devs, office staff, QA, even some temps are raising 100s of dollars each from their networks.
They all deserve as much recognition as any of us on the Community team.

I'm completely blown away. Every time I think we've capped out, you guys raise a couple thousand more dollars in a matter of hours. Ad your generosity is rubbing off. I've got cash and some checks from friends and family I have to send in because your efforts have encouraged them to give, too.

Really fantastic to see so many folks contributing to a worthy cause - goes to show how truly amazing this community really is and how willing folks are to lend a hand.
I do need to run some errands today...$9300 so far. Maybe I'll go look at costumes. I'm still safe from razors at the moment.
The real question is.... How much is it worth if I can get Kate onboard with the fun?
