RushFanForever Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 In a way, it's a similar related concept that Geddy did awhile back here and here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bahamas Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 Thank you for this, blueschica.For those northerners going to donate there is no donation entry field for "Provinces", so I contacted them to inquire how Canadians can donate in a Canadian's honour :) Will post a work around when I hear back. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bahamas Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 As of Monday @ 20:21 they say they will respond within 72 hours.Hope there are lots of prints available - um, I mean I hope there will still be time to donate :) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bahamas Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 So yesterday I sent a follow up email that it had been about 92 hours...was polite and asked for any information, but no reply yet.I suspect the offices are likely not operating as usual. When I do hear news, I will post again.Best wishes all, stay safe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bahamas Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 Just an update, have still not heard back. There is a "send check" option, but not sure you can dedicate the funds for this cause without further details.I am finished with checking for updates on this, best of lucks folks :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is most unfortunate since you wanted to donate and I would imagine other Canadians would also have had the same kind impulse. It's too bad they are not more organized; we can only hope it's because they are overwhelmed with donations. Thank you for trying! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cygnify Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 I received my portrait yesterday - really nice color 8"x 10" photo with no print on it. I've framed it and placed it in a prominent place in my home. An excellent cause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whew. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
