Red Sox, Willmar Office and Lincoln Christian All Win

My Brother Justin is a Cardinal fan and I am a Red Sox fan. So the people at work convinced us to place a wager on the World Series.

Now the World Series is over and I couldn’t be happier. My Red Sox won. The Chapin house is a joyful place!!!

The Willmar office donated more in the charity give away than the Lincoln office so the Willmar Office will be having a Jakes pizza party. Larry Marcus can start dreaming about what flavor he wants on his pizza. (I am tempted to force a Valentino’s party on the Lincoln office for losing.)

Thank you Steve Gardner for the great idea of using the Mustache Bet as a way to raise money for a good cause. Justin and I weren’t interested in growing a stache for fun but raising it for good cause was an easy risk to take. It appears that the total donations are going to be over $800. Without Steve’s idea we won’t have the chance to see Justin grow a cookie duster.

Well done and thank you to everybody that contributed.

When the Red Sox won that meant my charity won. The charity that I selected is Lincoln Christian School. So the money will go to its Family Education Grant (FEG). FEG is a fund that LCS uses to help offset tuition expenses for families that can’t afford to pay full tuition. During the month of October LCS is running a fundraising campaign that matches all contributions. That means that this contest will raise over $1,600 for LCS.

Isn’t that awesome!!! If you gave $10 it was matched by Justin or I to total $20 and that $20 was match again to total $40!

Plus we all get to enjoy seeing Justin with a soup strainer. (I doubt Dianna shares this view.)
