Only $20 and for a very good cause! It is tax deductible as well.
Jay,

Thank you for showing your support.

It is a great "cause." It is also fun. And you can also win something cool!

What more could you ask for for $20?

I hope a lot more people enter.

Catch you later,
Dave

The BEF processes the entries and updates the website manually, so they aren't posted immediately, but they should appear within a few hours or by the next morning.

Thank you for participating,
Dave
 
If you haven't put in your picks yet, don't forget to do it by Sunday night or early Monday morning.

Sorry, was out with the kiddos doing fall stuff all day.

Thanks again to everyone who has donated so far, and to Dr. D for the bumps!!!

Since there are clearly some very popular choices, we will be allowing duplicate guesses (in an effort to raise as much funds as possible). However, we'll also need the score of the runner-up in the finals in the event of a tie-breaker. If more than one person guessed the same names, the person with the closest score (without going over) will receive the prize of the iPad mini.

Please help spread the word about this contest and help us reach our goal of raising $5,000 this weekend.

Here's the latest: (and yes, please be sure to get your guess in by Sunday night or early Monday morning)
