PhantomNick Posted June 4, 2015 Author Share Posted June 4, 2015 Alright Team TPR, as we enter the last full day of fundraising, I did an update to the first post in the thread, along with running our latest fundraising totals!! For fun, I also posted where each Team TPR stands at each respective park. In short, you guys and gals are ALL absolutely CRUSHING this fundraising thing! 5 of our 9 teams are the top fundraising team, and another 2 are the 2nd highest! Everyone, all 59 of you, your work has been OUTSTANDING!!! As for that updated total, be prepared to be AMAZED!! **drum roll, please** Team TPR has now raised........ $36,648 for Give Kids The World!! WOW! Truly tremendous....there's just no other word to describe it. I am so very proud of you all! GO TEAM TPR!! Let's push hard before the deadline on FRIDAY AT NOON (EST), and push that total as high as possible. Is $40K reachable? Hey, you never know!

robbalvey Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 I would expect today would be the day that every one of our riders has posted this to their social media pages, asking friends for one final push, etc. There is a lot of art in the first post of this thread you can use. I have put this on the front page one more time and we will blast it out to all of our socials today! Best of luck everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ape Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 I just put it out there on my first break. Here is to hoping everyone gets one final strong push. I was hoping to be able to raise $1000 this year but it's been a tough go and i've been a bit tight on the money end. I'll be more prepared next year!

gromithere Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Made my last minute donations, and making my final pushes via e-mail and social media. Hoping to make $300 by the end of the day. Just curious if anyone has received any information regarding California's Great America? With only a couple of days left, you'd think we would at least know a registration time. Lol. If nothing else, I'll do some research and see when we were scheduled the last few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jray21 Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 It's too bad it's Demon again. That's such a tough one to marathon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Great Zo Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Alright, time to make my final push. I have some strange criteria, I admit. Here goes nothing. $10 if you took a picture of me cresting the world's tallest roller coaster in the front row! $10 (x2) if I beat you at mini golf! $10 if we counted cockroaches after a particularly "six flags" day! $10 (x2) if we made it through four "six flags" days together in 2013! $10 if we cursed the airline queue (and made fun of our sleepy flight attendant) at O'Hare Airport! $10 (x2) if I watched you eat fried worms and ant larvae! Best of luck on Sunday -- Nathan, Lisa, Mark, Chris, Victor, Stacy, Chuck, Ryan, and Stephen! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I almost feel bad that while you're doing that, I'll be marathon-ing on Millennium at CP! I hope everyone is gearing up for some awesome fun on Sunday!! Be sure to send Robb plenty of pics so he can share them via the TPR social media sites! Just under 18 hours before the donating deadline.....
