We have a winner...

Triplets

First, thanks to everybody who has contributed to the training camp/blog improvement fundraiser so far. We really appreciate all the support and will use the money to make this an even better Dallas Cowboys blog.

As promised, we have a winner for the Triplets Lithograph, drawn at random from the names of those who had contributed through last night.

The winner: cowboy1966

Congrats! Shoot me an email cowboy1966 and let me know where you would like the lithograph shipped an we'll get on that right away.

Now we move into the second phase of the fundraiser where the prizes are bigger. Going forward for the next month, we'll be putting up two tickets to the Cowboys very first game to be played in the new stadium, alternately known as Jerry's World or Billion Dollar Stadium. That game is against the Tennessee Titans on August 21, 2009. We'll also be weighting this drawing for a winner. Every $10.00 you donate gets you one spot in the drawing. If you donate $50, you get five spots in the drawing for tickets.

Once again, Raf and I, and the BTB staff, really appreciate your support in this fundraiser. Below is the link to donate to the BTB training camp/blog improvement fundraiser.

Congrats on the win cowboy1966!

Aaaaaaah

I knew I should have also entered as Mike Honcho or Ron Mexico!!

They've done studies, you know. 60% of the time it works, every time.

The tickets

give them to me!

I have a question Grizz. Does paypal charge for donation transactions like it does for payments received?

by sublimezg on Apr 28, 2009 10:01 AM CDT reply actions

They take a small transaction fee out of the donation

for themselves. It’s a relatively small amount.

I'm wondering

If there’s a similar service out there made for donations and doesn’t charge

What's the error?

What’s Paypal say when you try to donate?

by Dave Halprin on Apr 28, 2009 11:54 AM CDT up reply actions

it won't let me log into paypal or just use my cc . both options just send me back to the donation page.

Checking on it

Anybody else have a problem?

by Dave Halprin on Apr 28, 2009 12:51 PM CDT up reply actions

No problem - payment went thru for me

This is the 3rd time I’ve contributed and I’m sure I’ll give more a little later.

When I contribute – its with paypal under a different name and password. How will you guys know it comes from me? Just wondering?

When you signed up for the blog

One of the fields was “name”, so if you gave BTB your real name at sign-up I can match it up. BTW, that stuff is private and never shown to anybody else on BTB, or anywhere else, so no worries on privacy. I was able to match cowboy1996’s name to his blog name.

Now, if you gave us a phony name or different name at sign-up than what’s on PayPal, I’ll have to figure out a work-around. But don’t worry, I will. Same if you’re just a lurker who never signed up but donated. I’ll figure it out.

Just so happens I didn’t have to this time.

Grizz:

I really enjoy your blog. I am sure I speak for the rest of your guest by telling you how much I appreciate you and all the writers for your hard work.
The professionalism and knowledge that comes from your blog is unlike anything I have ever seen in sports writing.

thanks again,
