The members of the Schrade Collectors Forum (over in the Manufacturers section) initiated the "Gulf Coast Assistance" endeavor to provide help and support to the folks affected by Hurricane Katrina.
This is NOT an auction, the group IS NOT collecting any funds, and THE ONLY beneficiaries of this effort are the RED CROSS and the SALVATION ARMY. The products offered to the top donations are given by the forum members.
An analysis indicates that only 10% of the viewers (numerically) post to the forum. This means that a lot of those who view this endeavor (and the prior one) do not make a pledge or donation.
The majority of those who have made a pledge or donation (honor system - no-one is looking over your shoulder or checking on you - it's your own Karma) are the regular members of this forum. Thank you to them!
And, thank you to the visitors and guests who have also made a pledge or donation.
It's not about "winning a knife or sheath", it's about helping the NGOs with assisting the victims of the Hurricane and the aftermath.
Each and every pledge or donation is worthy and worthwhile making, regardless of size.
We also need more folks to visit this endeavor and to make a pledge or donation.
Please tell your friends, associates and other organizations about this, and encourage them to drop by and make a pledge/donation.
Over $3,300.00 so far from a handful of folks is a huge gesture - let's get more people involved and really increase the amount of funds that are pledged or donated. Ends Monday, Sept 19th at 11:00 PM EST.
Thanks for putting up with these "solicitations".
