Gave 30$ last week, but I'm more than happy to double down tonight. The smash community has given me so much free entertainment, it's great to have a chance to give back!

Okay so I think what we're going to do is just watch this page to see how much has been donated during the show:
https://www.wepay.com/donations/243970321

And, with regards to Europe and other regions who can't watch, we definitely need to set up a solution for them. We could either start early, or set up a paypal for them (probably mine). Anyone who is in this situation feel free to post here letting me know what you think, or if you want to paypal me the money hit me up via PM and we'll discuss.

Checklist of things I'll be doing:

1. tuning into the stream and matching up to $200 in donations tonight
2. uploading a copy of the EVO fund promo to my YouTube channel (2000+ subscribers)
3. hosting a tourney this weekend and donating all venue fees to the EVO fund

I hope everyone can be inspired to do their part! Even if you don't plan on attending EVO, donate to help us get there and get the exposure we need to continue thriving as a community for years to come. Even if you absolutely can't donate, share the Melee It On Me story and the EVO fund link to anyone you can on Facebook to maximize awareness. Everyone can help make an impact.

I'd love to help out but i wont be able to be up until 3:00 am tomorrow (Europe... yeah!)
Would you mind counting donations that are done a bit before the show?
Same here. I recieved the ad revenue from my youtube channel today and I'd be more than happy to donate that.

EDIT: PayPal sounds like a good idea, at least in my case the money is already on my PayPal anyway.

Feel free to PayPal to me, or donate through another means and provide proof of your donation / location through PM to me!

Same as above - I'd prefer you donate and send proof to me through PM and I'll mark it down in the Google Doc and count it towards the drive!

I'll be matching donations up to $200 tonight, in anticipation of the additional venue fees I'll be collecting from my pseudo EVO fund tourney this weekend.

Oscar, its way too early in the game to think this is wrapped up. Skullgirls is getting a grand every two days. Once we drop our load tonight (lets say ~5k), we'll be at 8.5k. Thats only a ~4k deficit for them, and I'd expect them to make up that ground in 8 or 9 days.

I doubt this will be the finishing blow. Just when **** starts to really get real.

I expect that this donation drive will be won by the first game to get to 15k....and we aren't even close to that yet.

I agree with CrimsonBlur. That's why even after tonight, people should be trying to hold some tournaments this weekend and the next to generate Evo donations, use some of the money towards it or something. We have to keep a constant flow of donations, just like SG has done so far.

15k? That's a bit much. We just have to crush their hopes before that although some have already mentioned were dropping our load early in the game...it's quit good but if money.

It shouldn't be this difficult to find the exact time of this podcast. I found it but it should be way more obvious. Could Scar update his signature and could somebody update the news article at the top of the page so that it's not hidden deep in the explanation?

?

They got ~$800 just yesterday dude.

At that pace, they'll make 15k comfortably. Especially since the last couple days will be nuts

If we lose, it'll be only because of the bronies. This whole thing has taught me how abusable competitive fund raisers can be.
