Al's Run 2015
« on: August 27, 2015, 10:40:13 PM »


It's that time again.

Al's Run is right around the corner.   We neglected to do this last year .. but last time we ran a Al's Run Donation Drive, we hit nearly $5000 in donations from MU Basketball Fans.  Let's hit that again.

How?  Well, duh.  Heart string tugging.  You love Marquette Basketball, Al McGuire, and you remember those huge crowds outside McCormick, waiting for the race to begin.

And you've suckled at the teat that is MUScoop for NINE years.  All done through some serious effort by rocky, spiral, SoCal, and myself.

So do us a solid, and pony up a few bucks.  It all goes to a great cause, Children's Hospital of Wisconsin.  Sure, some will pledge $25, $50, $500 .. but imagine if even half of MUScoopers gave $5 each.   Or $19.77, that's fine too.

So, click here, whip our your credit card and pay your respects to Al, Wojo, and Marquette:

I am once again doing Al's Run with my family in memory of my son Peter.  He would have been 3 this year.  But we received wonderful care and support during Peter's life at CHW.  Al's Run isn't just our way to give back, it's also our yearly birthday party for Peter. 

Last year my team raised $2,852.75 with $500 coming from Scoopers.  Our two year team total is $5,395.47.  If anyone is interested in donating to my team:

Hey .. our first two donations!  Thanks, guys.

Wonderful!  Thank you so much.  My wife was very moved last year that complete strangers donated to us.  I told her, that's the special bond of MU basketball fans.

Agreed and my wife did not get it until she lost her brother last August. She could not believe the nice notes that were sent after I posted about his death.

Thanks for posting and for setting this up. Only issue I had with this is I wish I could donate more.

For Peter, for Andy's sister, for all the people on this board and in the MU community that have had future Warriors at children's hospitals anywhere, and for the support my family has received from you guys/gals, I hope we blow well past the goal.

Anyone on a team I can join?  I want something on the back of my shirt this year, instead of nothing.

You can joint the official MU team.  That's the one I am on.  You can choose it when you register.
Have some patience, FFS.

Good first couple days, but looks like we've stalled out at $744.  Sounds like a site-wide kick in the ass email is in order.

Kinda cool .. we're the #9th highest individual fundraiser.* (I wish it said MU BBall fans, but .. it's under my name.) 

A few more days like this and we're in the top 3.

(As an aside, in past years, I've donated back the value of the gifts they give out.)

Just donated $76.77 which should get it over the target.
Thanks to those who organized this!

This is awesome - thanks to everyone that donated so far!  But you don't know hilltopper well enough, now he's just going to set a higher goal for us!
