Guest guest Posted August 9, 2002 Report Share Posted August 9, 2002 Just going the the archives and came across this. Has this been (or will it be) organized again in 2002/2003? These sorts of grass roots fundraisers are how charitable organizations get media exposure. Is anyone else thinking about setting up a fundraiser in future?
