(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, September 17th, 2011.
In the past 4 years, Warrior fans on CS have raised $14,000 for Al's Run, including last year's record breaking $4,501.
We've established a tradition of starting with a goal of $1977.78, 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.
How about $32.54? (Jae Crowder.Davante Gardner?) Or go old school, $34.20 (Travis, Steve.) Or super old-school, $43.31 (Tatum, Ellis).
So, click here (http://www.firstgiving.com/fundraiser/MUBasketball/mubasketballfans2011), 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 (mailto:Hilltopper91@gmail.com))

I won. I donated first. Better luck next time, jerks.

So what am I missing? What is the significance of $53.85?
/I just know I'm probably going to feel stupid when someone posts an obvious answer.
Edited to add: we're getting there...come on Warriors!
No great significance....just $50 plus I checked the box that says I will cover the fees for using the website.
Now I feel lazy for not making the number mean something.
Sorry for the late donation. Now I'll curse everyone that hasn't donated to a fate worse than sisyphus watching Bucky and Penn State play a six overtime 47-44 nailbiter over and over

Never apologize for a donation. However, feel free to heckle those that haven't done the same :)
In... the "43.23" is the time I need to set a personal best in a 5-mile run since I'll be there banging this out.
GO WARRIORS!
In for the Scoopers....Ox's waist size of 43.13.
