Donations

Cidu Bill on Feb 8th 2010

The CIDU site has received a number of donations lately — for which I am grateful, but… it also made me realize I’m not really comfortable with the whole donation concept. So I removed the button.

But I’ll be putting it back up in April to make my annual March of Dimes pitch. As I mentioned last year, my older son has retired from the March of Dimes Walkathon after 17 years (he’s working out of state), so my younger son will be taking his place.

Final Call: March of Dimes

Cidu Bill on Apr 25th 2009

Last year, I said that the 2008 March of Dimes Walk America would be the end of an era — for us, anyway — because my son and I would be participating for our sixteenth and final time (we began when he was 2). Turns out we’ve got one more walk in us, since he’s working an internship this spring close to home.

So same as last year, any donations made to CIDU (you can use the button atop the right-hand column of this page)  by the end of the day on April 25 (today)  will go to March of Dimes tomorrow morning — and I’ll pay the PayPal fee (they help themselves to 6% of all payments, the goniffs) and I’ll match all donations.

Total donations so far: $225
