Originally, I had planned a day at the lake on the jet ski, but bad weather changed those plans, so today is housekeeping day. As of 11:00 CST yesterday, my total in the fundraising challenge was $150, neck and neck with Team McThag and Team Borepatch for third place. Donations overall were $1530. That’s good, but we’d like it to ...

No new kilted pics today, given that I’m at work, so here’s one for you from 2011: Do me a huge favor, and click on this link. Pick “Team Ambulance Driver” from the drop down menu, and make a fully tax-deductible donation to benefit male-specific cancer research. It’s important.

Have you joined the Kilted Army? Prize packages for the fundraising challenge are coming together, with some really nice schwag still yet to be added. Sixteen fundraisers have set up teams, a number of supporters have pledged a portion of their business profits in September to KTKC, and the momentum keeps growing. But we still need YOU to support us. ...

There have been some big changes with Kilted to Kick Cancer in the past month, the biggest of which is our official 501(c)3 charity designation! If you plan to be one of our Kilted Fundraisers for 2014, we have a little change in the usual process. Just drop an email to [email protected], and tell him the name of the fundraising ...

Are you ready? We’ve raised over $50,000 in just 90 days over the past three years, and it’s just going to get bigger, and be a year-round thing from now on. Why, do you ask? Because Kilted to Kick Cancer is now a registered 501(c)3 charity! That’s right, what you helped start as a grassroots fundraising and awareness campaign has ...

For those of you who donated to Jeff Brosius' Kilted to Kick Cancer fundraising campaign, you may recall that he pledged to wear a kilt to Epic Duck Hunt 2013 if you helped him meet his fundraising goal. You did, and he did. Here's the video: httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=47stN56VPlQ&feature=youtu.be

Yes, I know I'm late getting this done. Sorry, but life intervened. For those of you who donated to my Kilted to Kick Cancer 2013 fundraising campaign, a $20 donation got you one chance for a $200 Brownell's gift card, and $10 got you a chance at a signed copy of my book. I entered all participants into an Excel ...

And that goes for the guys in my raffle, too. Your humble host has fallen down on the job in getting the winners in touch with the respective prize donors, but I promise you I will rectify that this weekend. Keep an eye on your inboxes.

It started in 2011. A bunch of EMS bloggers pledged to change their blog backgrounds pink for the month of October to raise awareness for breast cancer research. In his own unique way, EMS Artifact pointed out to us that prostate cancer was just as prevalent in men as breast cancer was in women, and received just a fraction of ...

Only two days to go in our Kilted to Kick Cancer 2013 Fundraising Challenge, and it looks as if our goal to raise $50,000 was overly ambitious, but today we broke $10,000, and I have hopes that we can equal our first year's total by the time the challenge ends at midnight on Monday. Standings as of 1520 CST on ...

Well, KTKC 2013 is drawing near to its end, with only four days left in the fundraising challenge, and it looks like we won't meet our $50k goal. That was an extremely ambitious goal anyway, but you know what they say; if you aim low, you tend to hit where you aimed. Right now, we're at roughly $8300 in this ...

Okay guys, we've a little more than a week left to go in Kilted to Kick Cancer 2013, and we're still way below our fundraising goal. There are quite a few Kilted fundraisers out there offering their own set of enticements for you to donate to their campaign, so check one of them out and donate to a good cause! ...

As promised, the newest addition to the Kilted to Kick Cancer fundraising prize packages: That’s a matched AR15 upper and lower courtesy of KTKC supporter Alex Wakal, owner of Dreadnaught Industries. DI-15 upper and lower receivers are machined from 7075-series aluminum forgings that are stainless shot peened and Type 3 hard anodized for durability. Dimensionally consistent, these receivers are finished ...

I’m waiting to finalize details, but I can give you a teaser now: There’s a late donation to the KTKC prize packages, and this one’s nice enough it gets a prize package of its own. I don’t want to give too much away, but it starts with a G and rhymes with “run.” I was originally offered this one as ...
