Hey what do you all think about the CSC sponsoring a wagon for the ride? The cost is $100 per wagon, I figure 10 people, 10 bucks each (or more if you guys want to).

The money would be used to sponsor one of the CH special wagons, which are used to move children around the hospital. This group has been very committed to the event, I thought this might be a way to do a little bit more without stretching people too far.

Who's in...

* Wagon #1
- Myself - $10
- Dyscofool - $10
- Shacheri - $10
- ccm84 - $50
- sv650girl -$20
We have $100 for #1!

* Wagon #2
- Myself - $10
- Gary N - $20
- Spiderman - $20
- genemcleod - $20
- Rick T - $20
- Hoopty - $10
We have $100 for #2!

* Wagon #3
- Myself - $10
- Big-J - $10 ... $10 for the kids! AH ah ah
- Jmetz - $10
- RockyR6 - $10
- Wahooman - $10
- Ripper - $10
- genemcleod - $40
We have $100 for #3!

* Wagon #4
- Woody Creek Rail - $100
THANK YOU Woody Creek! :up:
We have $100 for #4!

* Wagon #5

- dosbros - $15
- Sullysporty - $20
- Sweet Thang - $10
- BenDover - $10
- 655321 - $25
We have $100 for #6!

* Wagon #7

THANK YOU Ken! :up:
We have $100 for #7!

* Wagon #8

- Surfinspacegirl - $35
We have $100 for #8!

* Wagon #9

THANK YOU Breck Brewery!
We have $100 for #9!

EDIT: We now have enough for NINE wagons!

PLEASE remember to get me your donations either at Breckenridge Brewery on the 3rd, or on the ride on the 7th. If you are writing a check, make it out to Ralph Forsythe (I am covering the wagons and collecting to reimburse that). If you'd like to mail it to me PM me for my address.

I am - I remember when Gabe was very little, he got so sick we had him in Children's for about a week, and he did some traveling in the red wagon.

How do we get the money to you?

2 more! Sweet!

Regarding the money, I assume you're all going on the ride, ya? If so you can get it to me then, or at Breck's wed nights, or let me know if you're not going to ride on the 7th and we can work it out.

Thanks Michelle! If you'll be on the ride or at Breck Brewery just get it to me then... If that won't work let me know.

FYI we now have enough for one wagon! :up: Let's keep this going and donate two or more! I will commit $10 per wagon, so I'm tossing down another $10 for #2...

I won't be at Breck's this week either with the holidays and all, but will be there next week (Dec 3rd). If anyone can get the money to me in advance of the ride it'll help a lot since I'm basically fronting the money to buy the wagons, but if you can't until the ride that is ok as well.

Thanks Rocky! $60 left...

Just curious though.......The RMHD site says each wagon gets a plaque with the donors name and a message up to 60 characters. What should be on the plaque? Wagon donors will also get a certificate of sponsorship which wiil be displayed at Rocky Mountain Harley Davidson.
I also think it would be cool if a bunch of "Rice burners" had something displayed in a Harley dealership.

from the GPM website....

Future GRAND PRIX MOTORSPORTS, 3105 W. County Line Road, Littleton, Co. (near Rocky Mountain Harley Davidson). "OPENING SOON"
-- maybe they'll start with backyard bar-b-q's -- :shock:

me and the busa will bring a toy or two while acting as a place-holder for the stunt crew in the 2by parade to the hospital..... :D :lol:

As space is limited, my plan is to put the first and last initials of those who donated, or maybe the first names (depending on available space) for each wagon.

Yes, I have already thought this through... ;)

Thank you!

AND WE ARE DONE! Unless another $100 pops up very soon I'm closing this out at 7 wagons, so I have time to collect the money.

A HUGE thank you to everyone who has donated for this great cause!

Make that $25 to close out the wagon.Ya beat me to it! :D This is such a great cause, I figured why not.


I'll put another $25 towards an 8th wagon if anyone else can help complete it by tonight (so we can get Ralph the money).


And a thought about what gets written on the plaque - if we don't have enough room for names or initials, put the club name (and website URL?), we could set up a special page on the website listing all the names of poeple who contributed.

Ok, should have the final number (8 for sure, possibly a 9th) this evening, and I have either received all funds or have them accounted for (i.e. I know when I'm getting them), so I will be driving to RMHD tomorrow morning to write them a check and fill out the inscriptions for the tags.

I am amazed at the generosity from this, we have all definitely made some kids' lives better this holiday season. :up:
