A huge THANK YOU to everyone who participated in the third annual Japers' Rink Charity Pledge Drive! We pledged $2104.90 on behalf of the Carson Kolzig Foundation! And even though the Caps season didn't exactly go as expected, there were some nice highlights, made all the better seeing that pledge total climb higher with each game.  The awesome folks who make up the Japers' community make this possible every season. I can't thank you enough.

Curious as to much much you're on the hook for after the regular season? Check out the pledge tracking sheet! If you spot any errors, please let me know and I'm happy to correct them. This goes double if you were part of any stats-based bets.

And now, on to the playoffs!

Works the same as before. Post your playoff pledges in the comments, or e-mail them to me

Didn't participate in the regular season? No worries! Join us for the playoffs. It's fun! It will help kids! DO IT FOR OLIE!

But wait, there's more.....

Becca's Playoff Charity Challenge!

Our very own Becca is willing to make a great sacrifice during these playoffs: follow Jaromir Jagr on twitter until the Flyers are eliminated! The challenge? Ten people must donate a minimum of $5 each, with the money going to the Carson Kolzig Foundation. The deadline to commit is midnight US eastern time on April 11. Same deal as other pledges: post here or e-mail me, and specify it's for Becca's challenge.

Happy pledging, and LET'S GO CAPS!

Playoffs!

Playoff-bound! Finally!

One more regular season game to go. What a long strange trip it's been.

As off this morning, we're at $1914.20! After I add in all the pledges based on season stats, we'll clear the $2,000. And hopefully there will be a very long playoff run that helps lift that total much higher.
