Tip Cup

By Kevin Buckley
Thursday, Sep 18 2008, 01:58 PM

Some of you may know .. I write another blog, about Marquette Basketball called "Cracked Sidewalks" .. a reference to a famous Al McGuire quote.  If you're a Warrior fan, you are probably an avid reader of CS.

Every year for the past three, I've put out the challenge to all readers to donate to Al's Run, which is this Saturday.   McGuire is Marquette's patron saint.

Over that time, we've raised over $5,000 for Al's Run, which benefits Children's Hospital of Wisconsin.  My wife and I will be pushing our two sons those three miles.  Here's your chance to help out.

The theory goes .. Do you read Village Spillage?   I don't charge a subscription, of course.  Think of this as a tip cup. --  A little something something to show the guy you care, for writing articles and posting videos, trying to inform the villagers of Whitefish Bay.  It goes to a good cause.

This year, we're just $500 short of our $2,750 goal, with donations ranging from $5 to $250, from readers who like the blogs I write.  Makes me all warm and fuzzy inside.

So if you're a fan of Al McGuire, Children's Hospital, or Village Spillage .. think about putting a few bucks in the tip cup.
