Yep, just looked and we need only 441 more donations to reach $100 grand.

That is just amazing and I think we can reach it.

Congrats to all that have supported this and I'm sure her family is overwhelmed with the magnitude of support from our small community.

9,559 Jenners with baidaids on the knee are running around. 10,000 here we come.

I'll be buying a second for another account this weekend.

I think we'll have no problem reaching $100,000 by the 20th, but even so there should be a milestone when it happens. Like PGI gives us little cancer ribbon cockpit items or something. I mean, Seeing how far we've come in our donations I think that another... $4,310 in thirteen days will be a walk in the park, but at the beginning I never though that our community could have raised so much money. I didn't know there were that many of us here! My honest guess at the beginning was around $45,000.

So! Cancer ribbons for cockpits! Let's get on it!

Edit: And pat ourselves on the back when it happens!

How about a pink cockpit windshield with a darker pink ribbon which be also transparent embalmed on the side like stained glass but in this case stained transparent aluminum?

Or a pink Jenner Statue with a pink ribbon tied to one of it's legs as a standing or a hanging pink Jenner Statue held up by the pink ribbon.

Let go for the 100K achievement the cure for cancer could be 10 bucks away.

Smurfin for the win! Another Sarah's mech I shall have! (also a funsies account I can beef up and get friends to play the game with since trials are soooooo baaaaddd)

[DarkDevilDancer]

I was happy to contribute and it made me proud that the community gave this their whole hearted support.

I think we could make this a yearly event, pick a charity we can all get behind and release something not necessarily a mech it could be a decal or cockpit item.

[FupDup]

Looks like you really got 'em good, Sarah.

while i admire this idea the pink ribbon is breast cancer and i don't think that is what sarah had.

EDIT: just checked its a yellow ribbon

The Yellow Daffodil is the international symbol for the fight against Cancer.

Perhaps a small cockpit item based on this?

[Lord Ikka]

Great to see all these Mechwarriors donating for a good cause. Sometimes this community can really unite behind the right thing.

I would prefer pink paint to show our support on other mechs.

Either a hanging daffodil medallion or a potted daffodil plant to sit on your console. I vote for the hanging medallion, personally, as Sarah's Jenner is currently the home of my coconut monkey bobblehead and I'd like to have a hanging item to add to it instead. (Been tempted to pick up a peace symbol medallion specially for the Jenner but haven't decided yet.)

Honestly, I did try to buy the mech for charity, but the 3rd party payment system really doesn't like the fact that I'm an American, with American bank accounts and credit cards, living in Russia.

How is "Get 'em Good" not an (un)official tagline for the game?

Did you try going through PayPal? My brother is an Englishman living in California and he has the same issue with his English bank account.

I'd say that's probably more your card company being cautious over phising......

I've lived in Moscow for three years now. I tried using PayPal, and they denied that as well. Paypal sent me a notification a transaction was being processed, but PGI's partner immediately denied the transaction.

I've already faxed these mentally challenged people my driver's license and passport in the past, so I could verify my ID in order to buy MC. I'm not going to do it again. None of the details have changed. My bank knows exactly where I am, and they've authorized purchases from here. These stupid payment vendors though are mostly automated to the point of retardation.

I've had this same issue(though not from Russia). It's an issue with this specific third party provider as I've used PayPal for other online shopping.
