October round-up

Well, that was a less than pleasant way to end the month. Let's juts skip those two rather disappointing games (I stayed up for that?!) and move on...

October's grand total in pledges is $281.70!

November will be a busy month with 14 games on the schedule.

Curious as to what you've pledged so far? Check out the pledge tracking sheet.

Remember, it's never too late to join!

7 goals for 7 wins

and $256.47 for pledge drive so far!

More goals, saves, wins! We've passed $200!

Any win over the Flyers is a great win. But 5 goals, 40 saves, and a win? That's all sorts of awesome, and helped us pass the $200 pledged mark. Tonight, we're up to $214.90! Onwards to Saturday and a date with the Red Wings. Let's Go Caps!

As always, you can join at any point during the season, for however many games you want. So if you just want to pledge for Saturday, or just games against the Penguins, or games played on nights with full moons, that's cool. The more the merrier.

10/18 vs. Florida

Last night's game brought the season total to $178.75! Quite the fun game, too. We would clear the $200 mark against Philly (hopefully) or the Red Wings. Is everyone ready for the next two games?

10/15 Ottawa update

Hardly the greatest game I've ever seen, but there were saves, goals, and a win, so we'll take it. Last night's game against Ottawa brought the season total up to $146.98. Wondering what your season total is? Pledge tracking sheet.

10/13 vs. Pens update

Heck of a game no? How is your heart doing? On to the good news!


Tomas Vokoun made somewhere around a billion saves (ok, "only" 39), which really went a long way to boosting tonight's pledge total. Over three games, we are now up to $122.00!  That includes me promised matching pledges for all goals scored.

Over 3 games, we're averaging $40 per game. That work out to $3200+ over the season. Awesome!

And it's never too late to join in all the fun! You can always leave a comment letting me know you want to start pledging, or shoot me an e-mail.

next game is Saturday night vs. Ottawa. Let's Go Caps!

DJ's story, and Penguins Game Bonus!

Bernadette sent me her son's story today, to share what the Crason Kolzig Foundation has done for them.

Without the donations my son would not be able to do the Social Skills classes at the Responding to Autism Center which is funded by the Carson Kolzig Foundation. Thanks to these classes my son DJ has been able to join Cub Scouts and participate with the other kids. 3 years ago, we never dreamed we would be able to do this. He LOVES it. I got to hang out at Cub Scout Camp with him (1st time parents are suppose to hang out), he played, did projects, etc just like the other kids. COULDN'T tell a difference. He was just a "normal" boy. Didn't run and hide, loved his buddy for the day, played football, baseball, etc. I was bursting with pride! 

DJ is in Religious Education class at our church. I got to witness him get up in front of the class and do a presentation! He sings and participates in his music class. He is also in Chess Club at his school. I could go on and on but I think you have an idea now. :) 

DJ was a boy that would hide under tables, behind doors, if he was to sit on a carpet square he would hide behind that also. We fully believe in the classes and are extremely grateful for the scholarships so he can get the help he needs. I can never say this enough but I love the Carson Kolzig Foundation. We are very appreciative for all the help and support we have received for DJ. The social skills classes have made a HUGE difference.

ALSO: TONIGHT! CAPS! PENS! Let's Go Caps!
And to make tonight extra super worthwhile, I will be matching pledges for every goal scored. So, if you pledged $1 for every goal scored, I'll match you. So get those pledges in!
