Hello everyone. A friend and co-worker of mine was just diagnosed with Stage 4 liver cancer. Medical expenses are going to be huge. I have created a GoFundMe ** spoiler omitted ** site to donate to his cause. Each donation of $10 gets you 1 ticket for the drawing on Halloween Oct 31, 2016. Please place in comments of your donation "I Be Goblin" and I'll know to award raffle tickets to your donation. The drawing of course is for an official (unused) I BE GOBLIN boon from GENCON 2012. I hope this doesn't violate the use of boons or solicitation on this site.
Luck with this - and even more for your friend.
I'll point some more friends your way.

Good luck to your friend. I work in the cancer care field, and I know how horrible such a diagnosis can be for the patient, as well as friends and family. I do hope that this alternative care physician is legitimate... it's hard to tell these days, unfortunately. In any case, this is a great use for a gob-boon.

Thank you Maxim, Ryan, Andrew, Yuri, Christopher, Janicein, and Brent. I have you all entered for raffle tickets. Has everyone been receiving my thank you's from the GoFundMe site? I choose the "Post to Facebook" option when I do. Which of course pops up on my Facebook site but do you also receive notification directly that I thanked you?

A big thank you to everyone and now for an update. The site has raised $3,858.00 and an outside organization got together after seeing the site shared from somewhere and wrote a check out for $6,500 and sent it directly to a family member of Randy's. So I lowered the goal by that much to $21,500. We're making great progress. Now to update the thank you's here. Thank you William D, Richard R, Idaho B, Jacob S, Steven L, Tuukka K, Jerusha L, Russell L, Brandon S, Robert H, James A, Stephen I, Eric M, James M, Matt M, Gino M, Philip C, Tim G, Louis Manko L, Jeremy C, Kieran E, Chris R, Simon G, Rob F, Carlos O, Steven S, and Chris M.

What would be really great was if Paizo decided to provide the Goblin boon (or another rare boon) for those who donated a certain amount to this charity. We'd jump up the donations pretty quickly!
That would cause a massive argument about 'pay to play'/'pay to win'. Some people are really touchy about getting stuff for paying more.
However, if Paizo were to donate a cool boon as a second raffle prize, that might also boost donations.

Hey Eden, just FYI, I forgot to include the I BE GOBLIN in the comments section.

The donations page/site has your real name, which I don't know. Reply so I can add you to the list.
