From
January 6th-9th we celebrated with the
the Twelfth Night Charity Ball, which benefitted the 9 charities that responded in
Santa"s Charity Link List. 23 tickets were sold and 5,700g was raised! This was before Santa's Charity Link List died.
From March 17-20th we celebrated St. Patrick's Day with the St. Patrick's Day Charity Scavenger Hunt. Ten charities benefitted. Ticket sales approached 6000g. There were 18 successful hunters.
March 2005 - Santa's Charity Link List has died under "message offline" problems so I'm recompiling a new one. If you see any other charities I've missed, please pass this on to them so they can post as well and we will have the most complete list possible. Thank you for your support.
June 6, 2005 - THE List of Charities opens for business. Thanks to all the charities that have helped me recompile this list!
July 5, 2005 - THE List of Charities is stickied! Since then it has been unstickied and stickied several times.
