Pick a Garage Sale Day non-profit

Last Capitol Hill Community Garage Sale Day post today, I promise. Oh, wait, don't forget that URL: www.capitolhillgaragesale.com!

As part of the community day, we want to encourage people to donate a percentage of their proceeds to a local nonprofit. It's all informal so how everybody decides to give is up to them. But we thought it would be cool to focus attention on one nonprofit and ask participating neighbors to make a donation.

So, who deserves the focus for CHGSD 2008? Please make your nominations in the comments. We pledge 25% of the proceeds from our sale (of course we're having a sale at our house) to whatever nonprofit gets the most comments here by 5p on Friday. Then we'll encourage everybody else to jump in, too.

My good friend's nephew is on the Seattle Slam's team. What an amazing way for these players to maintain physical agility and build confidence. Go Michael!!

GO SEATTLE SLAM!
What can I say...As someone who used to be so involved in sports, then was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis 15 years ago, I totally support Quad Rugby!
My friends nephew was in a horrific accident and we prayed that he would even survive, let alone get to the point where he is able to be involved in a program such as this!
What I would give to see programs like this in my area.
Go Michael! and Thank you Seattle Slam for helping him to be a part of society once again!

My vote is for the Seattle Slam. They offer a unique program to the guys and give them an outlet. I've seen the wheelchairs crashing around and it's quite a sight.

I have recently learned about the Seattle Slam thru my great-nephew, Michael Lykins, who is a member of the team and greatly enjoys the freedom it provides him to compete in a fast-paced sport, with a goal of competing in the Olympics in the future. Please support this organization in order for others with like-injuries to be able to have such a great activity available to them. Pat Parrish

What ever happened?
Did you all choose a non-profit? How's this going to work?

I strongly support Seattle Slam Quad Rugby. I believe it was a key factor in my nephew's superb recovery and is pivotal in his pursuit to participate in the Olympics. Way to go Michael!
