obviously, those of us who live FAR FAR away can't go, but is there anyway we can send a donation?

 

[VF21]

I'll check into it, chelle, and find out. I'm pretty sure Wells Fargo will accept mail donations. I'll get the info and post it in here...

Thanks VF21: I'm close enough, but not sure I wanted to go to the concert. At least this way, I can still contribute.
