The school hopes to raise $10,000 to $30,000. An internet campaign to donate a few bucks seems to be in order:
"Organizers had planned to mail invitations to more than 20,000 American Girl doll owners in a wide region. They had hoped to raise at least $10,000 - and perhaps $30,000 or more - through ticket and raffle sales, business sponsorships, and a percentage of sales of American Girl's dolls, books, clothes and other products, said the event's co-chairwomen, Marisa Beffel of Brookfield and Catherine Valentyn of the town of Brookfield."

OK -- now the contact info is posted. Freepers, we need to write letters of support to this parish. And they were going to use the money for a playground. I think I will send them a donation, too. Courageous integrity is an uncommon virtue, and they sacrificed a lot to stand by their principles. Very cool.

Thanks for posting the address of Father Malloy. Behavior has consequences, and the consequence of his behavior is that I am going to send him some $$$ for the playground project.
