 (http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ud0warTDU10/TKDnwca9uXI/AAAAAAAABko/xQgkQNLVc9I/s1600/Small+Al.jpg)It's that time again.  Al's Run (http://www.alsrun.com/) is under two weeks away, October 9th, 2010.

In the past 3 years, Warrior fans on CS have raised over $9,000 for Al's Run. 

We've established a tradition of starting with a goal of $1977, and smashing that goal a few times as the days go by.

Cracked Sidewalks doesn't sell you stuff here, we  don't even show you advertisements, we just give you pure Marquette  Basketball goodness.

All we ask for is a few bucks every year, for Al's Run.  

It all goes to a great cause, Children's  Hospital of Wisconsin.   Think $10.  Or $25 or $100.  Whatever you want to put in the Al McGuire tip jar. 

So, click here (http://www.firstgiving.com/MarquetteFans), zip out your credit card and pay your respects to Al, and Marquette:

(NOTE:  In the past, we've had some very generous donors who have run "challenge hours" matching other donations that come in at a certain hour.  If you would like to run a "challenge" (which can be anonymous and have a max) please contact me at Hilltopper91@gmail.com.)

Thanks KB!  Added a tracker on the left to conveniently remind everyone constantly that there's more to life than forum browsing  8-)

I'll challenge everyone to donate a nickel a post -- MINIMUM

Should get to 1977 in no time

Hell, Chicos, 4ever and 77 can probably get it there alone.

That's actually a great idea.  It's still less than $150 for me.

As of right now, MUScoop has 229659 Posts in 19189 Topics by 4249 members

If we go with a nickle, it'd be over $11k.

If we want to load average to get to ~$11k it's only $2.70 per member!

While I always appreciate the big donations (and try to take part in that myself), small donations by a bunch of people adds up quickly.  All we ask, do what you can - it's the only begging for money we do each year.
