You da MAN!!! That is HUGE HUGE HUGE! I tried years back (when Fatty first turned us on to fundraising for Livestrong) to get my company (Lockheed Martin) going with the matching donations...turns out it's not something they want you to be able to do...and I couldn't get ANYONE in my company to help me...and I had talked to Livestrong people and they couldn't help navigate the corporate doo-doo. I might have to try again w/ WBR and see if we can work something out...though our program I believe is only matching donations (I raised over $3500 that first year, which was horrifically hard for me). I'm still quite impressed and when I get back off travel I will approach HR and see if SOMEBODY can help me navgate the dark waters of getting $ from the faceless entity. Way to go CARLOS!
