Fellow AllDucks member lvsprt had a great idea in the "Lowe Sounds Off" thread. She suggested a fund raiser, much like the Beat The Avalanche fund raiser we had years ago, to raise money to be donated to the favorite charity of whatever Ducks player scores the game-winning goal in the first home game against the Oilers. The point of the fund raiser is two-fold. First, it will prove to Kevin Lowe that Anaheim is NOT a "pathetic hockey market" and second, it will raise a lot of money for a worthy cause.

Like last time you will be able to mail in donations and we will also set-up a PayPal link to donate online. In addition to standard donations I have a few other ideas for fund raisers to help us raise even more money. Last time we ended up donating over $1,500 to Children's Hospital of Orange County (CHOC) on behalf of Sergei Fedorov so let's try to beat that mark. We have a LOT more time this time around so I think we can do it.

Again, this is a great opportunity for us Ducks fans to raise money for a worthy cause and force Kevin Lowe to eat crow at the same time. As was the case with the Beat The Avalanche Fund all of your donations will be tax deductible and you will be provided with a receipt if you are to send in a self-adressed, stamped envelope along with your donation. So start coming up with ideas for the name of this fund raiser and then start saving money to donate! Let's raise as much as possible and prove once again that the Anaheim Ducks have the greatest, most generous fans in the entire NHL!

Send donations for the Lowe Blow Fundraiser to:

Ducks Charity Fund
c/o Chris & Dawn Wassel
PO Box 424
Yucca Valley, CA 92286-0424

Checks are to be made out to Chris Wassel, who will handle the accounting for the checks/cash/money order part of the fundraiser. Paypal is still being set up.

Please include your name, address and email and Chris will confirm the receipt and amount of your donation. If you need a tax receipt, please include a self addressed stamped envelope.

If I remember correctly when we did the Beat the Avalanche Fund, we raised $1,500 for charity. Fedorov scored the winning goal and designated the check to Ducks Care, which SacredCow delivered.

The Fund and Allducks were featured on ESPN's SportsCenter.

I love this idea! We got a lot of names for this. SC are you going to do a poll for the choice of name?

[lvsprt]

Thanks Sacred Cow for taking this idea and making it real. Burke has gotta love the pride in our hockey market that it will show as well as the community service aspect of it, since that is what he expects from each of his players. If I remember blogs weren't necessarily a part of the landscape back during Beat the Avs so we can definitely get more exposure that way. I was really pleasantly surprised how the local media latched on to the previous drive so this one ought to really take off because it feels a bit more personal when you're calling out fans and their market.

[5MinuteMajor]

Man, I'd certainly be down for that!!
