Hey everyone,

This is the third time that PayPal has emailed me regarding the Raffle for Dwight Howard’s autographed shoes. I guess I was right when I said that they weren’t interested in raising money for Leukemia. Apparently, their rules are more important than helping children who have this life threatening disease.

If this is any sign of how they work as a company, I personally do not want them to be a part of this cause anyways. But seeing as how they pretty much have a monopoly on sending money online, I don’t really have any choice but to use them. Unfortunately, what this means is that the raffle will have to come to an end.

Thank you to all of the people who have participated and I will be randomly picking a winner for the shoes soon. I’d like to thank the following people for being so generous and helping this great cause. Hopefully this money can help not only find a cure, but find preventative measures.

• Mark Bautista
• Adeel Cochinwala
• Earl Bolson
• Phong Bui
• Sara Garrison
• Lisa Schramm and Justin Ecker
• Jim and Craig Stob
• Kenneth Johnson
• Gavin Burke

Again, thank you everyone for being a part of this cause. It is truly unfortunate that a company like PayPal does not have it’s priorities in order and would focus on shutting down a raffle for a good cause. Apparently, in the FOURTH email that I just got during the time that I’ve been writing this post, they consider this raffle to be gambling related. Here’s a big THUMBS DOWN to PayPal. I would give PayPal a different finger, but then who knows, they might try to shut down my entire blog.

Now that we’ve raised money for Leukemia research, can we all spend a little time announcing how terrible PayPal is as a company? Anyone with Twitter accounts, please spread this post. Hopefully, it will make them realize how dumb they are and prevent them from shutting down other raffles or projects that are going for a good cause. Thank you again everyone.

Anyone that would still like to donate, can send money to chrisjbui@hotmail.com

You will still be recognized for your contributions, although unfortunately, you can no longer be eligible for the autographed shoes. Thanks again, PayPal.
