BIg Green Egg Forum and Friends OBR drive commences

travisstrick

I got $50 of non forum people to donate this morning. All it took was one group txt.

I've been donating to these folks for a while now. They do GREAT work. I'm in for addition donations in light of how many disasters they've been responding to lately.

Great work Tony. I have donated to these guys twice before and this is my charity of choice. I'll gladly throw in again as part of the forum. These guys do great work and take 0 for themselves. I think a group "give" is an awesome idea as we do so many group "gets" it's nice to keep things in perspective. Don't get me wrong, I love buying toys but it's nice to give back every once in a while. Solid play.

This is a great way to donate and they need donations more than people helping. I signed up to help down in Moore, Ok after the tornado and they had TOO MANY volunteers register, so unfortunately I didn't get to help, but it is amazing that they had to turn away volunteers because so many people were willing to help. They said not to "self deploy" so I ended up helping in other ways. But I really like them and am signed up to help in any future disasters in the Midwest.

I've given a bunch to the people of Moore the past couple of weeks, but will donate to Operation BBQ Relief in the future!

Good job setting this up!

Let's go folks!  It's as simple as donating one nights cook on your egg to OBR.  Skip a night and eat a PB&J.   Operators are standing by.   ]

+1  No where near close to the group buys.  Only the cost of a dinner

I'm in.

Looking good folks.  $25 away from a $1000.00.  Goal 1

Goal 2 - Get to 5K.  I honestly think it's achievable with a little effort.  If we can sell over 300 units in a group buy, we should be able to do this.  Maybe we need to bring @eggcelsior and @mrcookingnurse in for strategic planning.

I'm going to post on my wife's FaceBook account and see if I can get some peeps to donate.

Added to my Facebook. Maybe everyone who starts a new thread should put the link in the beginning of the thread. If you like the recipe donate $5.... If it made you laugh donate.... If a total flaming Sh$@ storm erupts and it keeps you occupied for hours with a beverage and a bag of popcorn hit donate... I think you get my point.

Maybe LS should of thought of this, he is the idea guy ya know.

We're at $1000. I lost my grandfather last July and was feeling melancholy about not being able to get him a John Wayne movie on DVD this year. I dedicated my donation to him. Happy Fathers Day Grandpa.

Donated. Thanks for setting this up @henapple. I don't have any money left  for your PBR when you eventually come through Houston though.

Just kidding

Hey Tony! Just got back home and I am officially on the board. Love these guys. Hope I get to cook with them some day.
