Special Ball Ticket Discount Fund:

I've received several inquiries regarding a special ball ticket discount fund for people who may wish to donate to help someone else attend the ball who might not otherwise be able to attend. If you would like to make a donation that will help someone else attend the ball, please use our regular secure server donation (https://secure.freerepublic.com/donate/) page. If you have someone special in mind, please indicate in the comments area of the donation page the screen name of the person you wish to receive a discounted ticket and we will alert that person via FReepmail. If the person declines or otherwise cannot attend the ball we will notify you and allow you to designate a second person and or we can make it available to someone else. Also, please let us know if you wish your screen name to be disclosed as the donor, otherwise it will remain anonymous.

General Ball Fund:

We also have a general ball fund. This fund will be used to help offset additional ball costs such as complimentary tickets and possibly travel and lodging for band members and other invited guests who may require it, and or to offset other ball overhead expenses. If you would like to donate to this fund, please do so on our secure server donation page and indicate "General Ball Fund" in the comments field.

Thank you all very much!

Hope to see you at the Ball!!

I am SO there!

[Pylon]

I think I would rather have a Soldier or Marine attend in my place. I will forward a donation for that cause.

Thank you very much, Pylon!

I apologize to the Navy, I would also hope I can send a Sailor too.

[Pylon]

BUMP for a good cause

[Jim Robinson]

And here are two more that came in earlier tonight:

$50 from North Carolina - "General ball fund ... contribute to a ticket for a wounded soldier or any other worthy guest. God bless our troops and Free Republic!"

$50 from New York - "For the Freeper ball to a deserving individual"

Thank you all very much!!

[Pylon]

Thank YOU Jim, and thanks to all the FReepers who make this happen. Seems extra special to send a Marine, Soldier or Sailor to the ball after having President Bush here in San Diego today, and seeing his speech to the Marines at Camp Pendleton. He made a wonderful speech and the Marines LOVE him. It was great to see.
