Wow!! Thank you!!

According to the CBPBA.com

All checks for the donations are made out to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society

In the "memo" just put my name SAMANTHA BONGIORNO

You can send the check to me and then we turn the checks in on the day of registration at the Poker Run.

Per Mark Willis, the head guy directing the Poker Run, this is his suggestion:

I would prefer that they mailed the checks to you or gave them to you directly. This way we can track accurately how much fund raising you have. If the check is sent to the HQ office and your friends do not mention your name in the memo you will not receive credit for the donations.

My address is
Samantha Bongiorno
8 Mariners Walk Way
Middle River, MD 21220

Thank you!! I am amazaed and thankful to be apart of such a great boating community!

Tax Deductions:
The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society will most likely acknowledge donors using the address on your check. The acknowledgement that they send may be used to substantiate the gift for IRS purposes, and in most cases, this would be a tax deductible gift.
The key is that the check was written to the non-profit.

Good luck Sammy!

Nice, thanks Alex for supporting a great cause. I wasn't going to the well on this one since everyone was so generous on the Polar Bear thing. We host the first and longest running Leukemia Poker Run in the country. We have a great time and this year looks like a good run with some new stops. All the info is on www.cbpba.com so if someone would like to join us the first round of drinks is on me after we stop for the day. If you need any info, feel free to PM or email me.
