I am donating one of my photos for auction for a volunteer firefighter injured that has no medical insurance.
Please help me choose which photo to donate

The photo will be printed on 11x14" Metalic Gatorboard
Any help appreciated, this is for a great guy.

If this is the wrong section to post this, please let me know and I will move it.

Can you pick out 5 or so to choose from. Trying to chose from everything on your website isn't practical.

Sam

SimpsonBrothers · July 28, 2010

Ok, 5 it is.

Sam · July 28, 2010

I hate to post my vote......normally my vote is the kiss of death, but this is the one I would go with.

#2

Sam

SimpsonBrothers · July 28, 2010

Thanks for voting Sam.
Anyone else?

denisegoldberg · July 28, 2010

I'm with Sam - I would vote for # 2 as well.

BradfordBenn · July 28, 2010

And I agree with Sam and Denise #2.

Angelo · July 29, 2010

I like all of them.

Can you tell us more about your generous efforts? Maybe others would care to join in.

In my home town of Bonny Doon one of the volunteer firefighters got in an accident and has no medical coverage. It is a very tight nit community where most people know their neighbors.
They are having a charity auction where the proceeds are going to help cover part of his medical bill (about 80k).
We are just trying to do our part to help out him and his family.

Give me a holler....I will donate an image as well. How about a contest, who's image will get the highest bid??

How many are in?

Sam

How much time do we have before the auction?

I don't have a FB account. Plus the link to Stephanie's FB page doesn't work.

Do you plan on going to the event?

I went on facebook and messaged Stephanie Jenkins-Jessen to come here (this thread) and leave you email or just put it in my fb messages and I would send it to you
Not sure what you need to know....the auction is this next Saturday Aug 7....

I'm off to a trade show in Vegas and won't be back 'til Wednesday night. With an 8/1 deadline we should have been given more time to address this.

I agree we didn't get a lot of warning, but the event is 8/7/10 not 8/1810.

Still no word..............

Sorry Angelo,

That's the date system that will be in effect after Dec 21, 2012.

The date should have been stated as 8/07/2010

I placed my order, but it doesn't show as shipped yet.
Looks like she'll be getting mine late. Oh well.

Try e-mailing the Support Heroes, never hurts to ask. They got my wife's gift to me in time and it was tight.
