before the bashing...I have spoken with and gotten approval from the family to set this up. Thanks for your concern, however. If you haven't already, lets all come together and donate to help Shon and others in their fight against cancer. Here is a fund I started for my road march I will be making in Kosovo on May 9th. Please click the link and donate an amount for each km that I march. I am marching 25 km, so if you want to donate 1.00/km then your donation would be 25.00 or 10.00/km it would be 250.00 donation --- no donation is too small. Support me as I support Shon and other children in their fight against cancer. War Eagle.

From my facebook:
"Josiah, absolutely. I think that setting up a fund with St. Jude would be terrific. They're making great strides in the research of childhood cancer. I look forward to seeing the patches. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything. It means so much. Please let me know if you need anything else.
Sincerely,
De Keishia (shon's mom)"

I will be wearing Godfather's design as a patch on the sleeve designated for the wear of the combat action patch. This is war my friends and we are not going to lose. War Eagle!!!

The patches are in. I have 6 of them. Godfather, if you have an address and you would like one please let me know at gr33n3day at hotmail dot com I will be sending others to Shon and his family and possibly keeping one for myself to put in with the frame that i plan on framing this flag in when I get home.

No kidding. And now your artwork is the image of Ben Tate. NICE DUDE! Good work GF!

Godfather · « **Reply #47 on:** April 07, 2010, 10:17:34 AM »

I am going to do a shirt with the same design. We will be selling it in the X-store with a $10 markup. All proceeds to go to the foundation WE44 and Shon's folks decide. I will let everyone know when it is up.

AWK · « **Reply #48 on:** April 07, 2010, 10:36:42 AM »

Ben Tate is using the design as his facebook profile picture. Cool.

This has taken off so much faster than I ever expected it to. I have 2 people here who want to do the march with me. I am going to let them wear a patch and send them to Shon's family. The fund has as of last check 610.00 in just 13 hrs of availability. I cannot believe the support. Ben Tate, Quentin Groves, AUNation.net, rivals, even Oklahoma State and Texas A&M fans. Pass this link around to everyone. It's not just for Auburn people, this is to make a difference in children of all ages, genders, sizes, fan bases. I am so excited about the potential this cause can be for St Judes and it's cancer research programs. The goal was set at 10,000.00 thinking that was on the high side. Over 30 days until the march and almost 1000.00 dollars on the first day. I expect it will slow down with time but there's no reason to expect that I cant reach that 10,000 dollar goal and more. Thanks for the support. Spread the link to your friends, coworkers, family, etc. WAR EAGLE!!!

I just spread the link through the intrawebs via my facebook, email, etc... Hope it helps!

wareagle044 · « **Reply #51 on:** April 07, 2010, 12:36:28 PM »

my girlfriend e-mailed it to a few friends at her office and one e-mailed it out to the entire company....to include the man listed #371 on the Forbes 500 list. This could get interesting....the entire company just about is Oklahoma State alums.

Shirt is up.

Here is the link if you want to purchase one. Spread it around...including to Ben's facebook page.

http://www.tigersx.com/x-shop/

Spreadshirt charges $18.90...I put a $10.00 markup on it. That $10 will go the St Jude fund for anyone who buys one.

wareagle044 · « **Reply #53 on:** April 08, 2010, 01:55:36 AM »

2225.00 raised on the first day of the fund being open. incredible. continue to pass the link around, there's still over 30 days until the road march! War Eagle!!

Godfather, your design has been an integral part in this effort --- thank you so much for taking the time to make it. I have 5 other people who want to do the march alongside me wearing a patch, so the patch I send you will also have been worn during the march.

This is a REALLY good thing out of something that is REALLY bad.

Please please PLEASE make it clear to those guys who designed the logo.

Point as many links to this site, the shirt in this site's store, etc. as you possibly can.

Thank you.

link and thanks added to the funds page...shouldve added that from the get-go but had no idea that it would blow up like that and the excitement i had from it all put that thought on the backburner. I want Godfather to know how thankful I am for such a great design. Not sure that I would have gotten a better one anywhere else. Also thanks to bottomfeeder for pointing me this direction after making the same post on a couple other message boards.

I believe my girlfriend ordered at least one or two shirts. Anymore coming off the "racks"?

wareagle044 · « **Reply #58 on:** April 08, 2010, 11:00:37 AM »

Was also thinking maybe someone could make some flyers or something with the web address to donate and the design on it as well as a link to this site to pass out around town A-Day weekend??

You are doing an awesome thing WE44. I posted it up on our front site:

I also passed the link to tigerland and the auburner. Anyone else can use that link above to pass it around.
