Done.

 

Although I don’t recall this outpouring of support when Dareus’s 6th grandma passed after she fell off the back of his motorcycle.

You get the perseverance award I think.  What put you over the hump, was it Hap’s trick about calling the credit card company??

Late to the Tribute but donation made today. 

 

This is another reason why I will put our fans up against anyone else's in the country, and it will help others too!

[aceman_16]

Soooo close to 450k. I donated when it was at 15k. I just may make another to get there lol

 

EDIT: 40 minutes later and it was at 477k lol dang

Nah, I just tried a combination of random things with the VPN and luckily one of them worked!

And who pushes it up to a half-mil?

That's our quarterback.

Ends with "Donations to the hospital typically have come in $17 increments, representing Allen’s jersey number. Total donations were nearing 24,000 on Friday night.  Click here to make a $17 donation, or a donation of any amount. Together, football fans can easily get the number to $1 million."

It's baffling to see the down votes in the comments section of that PFT article.  Essentially the comments were of the "this is a really cool thing" but yet each comment has several down votes.  People are strange, when you're a stranger...

Okay, I love this, and I love Josh, and I love that we’ve raised this much money.... but the odds of this with the 17k to half a mil feels staged. 😛 
 

I’m sure he donated 17k, but I question the spontaneous bit of them posting the tweet and being exactly at $483k.

I also thought that - but think it was smart.  Gives more PR to bump it and keep it going.   He better have another 17K ready for when it reaches 983K

Oh yeah! I have no issue with it at all. I just had a moment where I was like “wow! It’s so cool that it was exactly $17,000.00 and he could do that to make it half a million and oh wait that was probably planned...”

Classy move by Josh to throw in and fitting that his donation got us to $500k in honor of his grandmother.

I'm guessing that what happened is that someplace as the total was climbing past $400,000 Josh told the hospital that when the total got to $483,000, he'd add $17,000.   Josh didn't time it; he simply asked the hospital to make his donation the one that got to $500,000.  He wasn't sitting by his phone, watching the tally climb, and then at just the right minute send his gift in.

Yeah, and it’s a great idea.
