Hey all,
I am happy to report that the Alternates have raised $240 for the March for Babies. That means that $184.80 dollars that will go directly to help premature babies and parents without insurance.
I want to send a special thanks to Black Knight for his giant donation. I want to thank Rene’ Alfonso and Kristina Reichelt for helping us out. And I want to thank Dark Guardian and Runebringer for making donations as well. These people are the real heroes in this. Our economy is not doing that great at all and the fact that they made a donation despite what is going on is fantastic.
So again, thanks so much guys for helping babies!
