Math-A-Thon # 4

Our two oldest boys are participating in the mathathon again this year, to benefit
St Jude Children's Hospital. This is a non-profit hospital that treats children with cancer, AIDS, sickle cell anemia, and other life-threatening diseases.
Cameron (4th grade) and Colton (2nd grade) are doing as many math problems as they can in a week. They’re asking for donations to go to the hospital, in support of their work.
Over the last 3 years, they've raised a combined total of $2,352. That wouldn’t have happened without the tremendous support from the BN community.
To make a donation for Cameron, just click here;

For Colton, just click here;
http://www.mymathathon.org/users/colton
Every donation will help, and no amount is too small. If you'd rather mail a check, send me a PM and I’ll give you the address to use.
Thank you for your continued support! It’s for a great cause and it’s teaching our boys that they really can make a difference.
The school's goal this year is $17,500. You can check the progress here;

Thank you flipflopgirl!
The boys are at $215 each, and $2,782 combined since 2006.
Another $109 each would put them at the $3k total combined mark.
Any amount will help, and it's going to a great cause.
