Donate to Celiac Disease on behalf of the Hulkin' Lemonade Stand

$406 raised for charity - Hulk'in Limeade Stand was open Saturday, June 10th, 2006.

100% of online donations will go the University of Maryland Center for Celiac Research. I will also toss in any profits I make from actually selling limeade to the people that stop by.

$1 and $5 are suggested donations for the "virtual" limeade and Tequila - for you lawyers out there, yea, you must stop by in person (duhhh) to receive/drink `em! If you toss $100 (or more) to charity, then you can NAME IT! I.e. request something zany and assuming it's reasonable, I'll do it for everyone on the Internet to see via three live webcams - some examples/suggestions:

  1. Turn Sprinklers on!!!
  2. Kids will make a goofy face on the webcam
  3. I`ll put your name/message on the website/webcam
  4. I`ll make a toast to you as I take a shot of Tequila (limit five (or so) requests)
  5. Alek has (!) to give his wonderful wife Wendy a long smooch on webcam - my recommended choice!

I prefer you donate directly to the University of Maryland (I've raised over $10,000 for them with various off-beat stuff) - they accept credit cards and will issue you a receipt as a charitable deduction for your (US) income taxes - click here to do that and in the "Special Instructions" block, please mark as "For Hulk'in Lemonade!"

You may also donate via my PayPal account and I will forward all of that to the University of Maryland after the sale is over. The buttons below go to my personal account which has no fees associated with it if you have a Paypal balance. I'm in the process of setting up a "Premier" account that can accept credit cards, but that charges 30 cents plus 3% fee ... so I'd recommend you use the UofM site at the URL above instead.

Email lemonade@komar.org with any other fun/zany ideas and forwarded receipt of your donations.
