SIGN UP FOR THE BLEEPING SUBSCRIPTIONS - PLEASE! Guys, the monthly donations will really end all this fundraising. It's way better. Ten bucks? Come on. We have people giving us one hundred dollar donations who are not signing up as monthly donors. That's crazy, it's the exact same process on the exact same page.
