Support Al's Run 2012

Written by: noreply@blogger.com (Kevin Buckley)




It's that time again.  Al's Run is this Saturday, September 15th, 2011.

In the past 5 years, MU fans have raised a whopping $19,000 for Al's Run, including last year's record breaking $5,200.

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, click the "Support ALS_RUN" button on the right ..  zip out your credit card and pay your respects to Al, and Marquette:

Al's Run Donation Site

(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)

Oof, we're a little late on this, guess I should get a tracker up and e-mail out (all those Louis Vuitton spammers will donate I'm sure).

edit:  hmm...no more firstgiving, and no more widget (that I can find).  They're making this difficult.

The site is definitely less engaging than in the past -- hopefully it won't dampen the Scoop spirit to donate to this worthy cause.

Indeed, that's why the donation drive is late .. they got rid of Firstgiving and it was quite difficult to launch a fund raising page.  Eventually had to email them for assistance.

Anyhoo .. better late than never.  We're over $415 in the first few hours!

I get it.

No love for Odartey-Jamil.




BTW, does Al's Run still get THIS packed? This picture is INSANE!

Plus, you gotta laugh that the "Pu$$y Cat Ranch" starring John Holms (sic) is clearly visible in the pic!

Woah!  And "Man With Two Heads" is in the other theater.  Sounds naughty, but I think just a horror flick?

Thanks for continuing this tradition, CS fellas.

Tracker with a donate link is up.  It's a manual update though, so don't be shocked if your recent donation isn't reflected here until later in the day!  Thanks all!

Great pic.  Anyone know what year it is from?

Al's Run Update: 

Hasn't been 24 hours, and we're up to $615.

Who will push us over $1,000?  Over $1,977?

That is "Hairy Wet Kitten Cat Ranch" in today's lingo.

'78, the first run, is my guess. 

[Dr. Blackheart]

4100 runners showed up in 1978 for the first run.

Yeah, now that I studied it a bit more, I see a couple of runners dressed up as the Blues Brothers.  The movie came out in the summer of '80, although the SNL skit started in '78.....

OK boys, mix em up in your bill folds.  Donate 5% of your post count to help the kids. We have to read all the drivel all year, so put it to good will!

Any chance you could delete the Novak discount double check?  Not trying to start anything - but it's just annoying at this point.  Enjoy reading your posts, could do without the signature.

Whoa .. it looked like we were going to be skunked today on fund raising, but suddenly a few 3-pointers came raining down. 

Awesome.

Ah yes--thank you. In the days of my youth...
