    I agree with splitting the money. Don't see how anybody can disagree with following the wishes of the person the money is being donated in honor for.

    Borla , unless you're looking for a more recent update on the totals, cynthetiq mentioned the morning's current amount 5 posts up. :) EDIT: Ah, Jazz cleared it up already.

  2. My opinion in this matter counts as much as that of Borla and as much as I hate admitting it, I agree with the_jazz . I don't like admitting when he's right....

    When I think Uncle Phil, I think golf...and ummm..other things, but giving to a golf team sounds more appropriate. Also, I am a fan of Hospice. At both of my parents' funerals we asked for donations to Hospice instead of flowers and many people donated. I have no problem giving what little I have to these organizations.

    Whatever Phil wanted....

    I say go with Phil and Marilyn's wishes. My fondest memory of Phil was the round of golf we played in Rochester.

    They've slowed down a bit, but we're closing in on about $650 based on the math in my head. Cyn has the exact number.

    Bump.

    I finally got around to this. Sorry it took so long. First my system wouldn't seem to do anything then I just plain lost sight of this, maybe I didn't want think about it anymore? Anyway I threw my nickle in the hat today and bumped this for others to see it again.

    My opinion is that the money should be donated according to the wishes of the person it is donated in memory of.

    I donated a bit and will a bit more after pay day. He was a good man.

    Here to pay my respects...

    Rest in peace, Phil... I'm saddened to hear of this, and your fight with cancer, after the fact... but you were always a good person, and a good friend to me. I hope the years in between our last talk were kind to you... you are gone, but this community and these people (perhaps those not even here anymore) will never forget you.

    I've got hat in hand at the moment looking to remind everyone that donations to Phil's Fuck Cancer will end on midnight Jan 1, 2013. You'll see the request at the top of the forum, if you can please help us raise $1,000.

    I don't do charity. Ever. (Instead I vote for Democrats.)
    But here I am, In December, just now seeing this, tears in my eyes.
    Yeah. I made an exception.
    Godspeed, Phil.

    I can't believe it.

    I've been away from the community for a while now and just recently started lurking around again. When mandy told me about it I was immediately saddened. It's weird how attached you get to the idea of someone, even though you've never met. The place won't be the same without him. I'll be talking to mandy about making a donation.

    Fuck cancer.
    Cheers, Phil.

    It's open until the end of the year, mandy. And even after that, we'd probably figure out a way to facilitate something if someone made a donation for him.

    We're nearing the end of the year and are just a little below our goal of $1,000. I hope that we can meet this goal.
