It has been well documented the team at Sandtroopers.com has made attempts over the years to help several charities and good causes. The feeling of reaching out and helping someone in need is something we as collectors probably do not think about or contribute to enough. Therefore in 2008 we'll be launching our Make It Better campaign. These groups have some very personal meaning to some of our staff and our charities scroll will be carried across Sandtroopers, the Jawa and Well of the Souls.com to generate awareness for these groups. Every third month of the quarter we will accept donations and rotate between one of our selected charities, throughout the year and hopefully we can do our part to help make a difference. Please visit our official Make It Better page to see how we've incorporated our yearly Toy Fair giveaway into the opening drive to begin our "mercy mission". For the minimum donation of three dollars you can enter to win one of two Toy Fair lithographs that were given away in New York City! You may paypal $3 to benefit@sandtroopers.com starting today and the cutoff date is 3/31/08. PLEASE enter your forum ID so we can verify your donation!

Sounds like a great opportunity to help out our communities.
For less than half the price of a action figure we can make a differance.

Dave, I think shipping info is an option at this time the most important thing is to include your screen name or forum ID. Thanks again to you Troopers, we're still ironing out the kinks but we've high hopes this program with some of your help will "Make It Better"!

FYI!!!
Just a quick note, I just sent a donation and was being a dumb ass. I didnt see a space to put comments or member ID at. Well if I had scrolled down the page (on the review your payment page), I would have seen this area! Dont let it pass you because once you commit your payment you can't go back.

It's cool, we've got ya down! THANKS again to all of you who have been very generous so far!  In the interest of generating as much as possible I am going to open this up to my entire staff and crew to maximize our efforts. We usually do not allow our staff to be eligible for any sort of contests or giveaways, first time this has happend. |

Yeah every ST trooper should take a moment and say " I dont need to spend $.80 xtra on a super size value meal option, x4" do that and you have a min of $3.00 to donate. I know some of you guys be eating those super value meals, so think about it.
Just like Cartman said "come on everybody, got to get together, got to get together so we can buy more chinpokomon". That type of attitude.

I just wanted to say thanks again to the many who have donated so far! This is truly a great thing as the worst you can do is give each of these groups half of $2.61 (that's what it is after the paypal fees). What is more encouraging is how many of you have donated more than the $3 minimum! The best you can do is one one of the two litographs from Sandtroopers and Well of the Souls.com!

I've said it better & i will say it again. I am partially brain dead - how can you change the amount to be donated? Or do you just have to do it multiple times?

I am so proud of the Troopers here helping out these worthy causes. We have received quite a few donations and we look forward to more people giving to these charities, without you, this could not be done.
