Thanks for starting this. I saw this on the news too and noticed the Webers. This hits home because the fire department I work for has been busy fighting fires all summer including this one, and we see the devastating effects of these fires on families first hand. Happy to chip in.

bump and curious where we are on meeting the goal

Thanks for the bump James. Sorry, I am just now seeing this Chris. Life gets in the way of me seeing the happenings here sometimes. I hope we hit the goal soon.
Hi all,
Sorry for no update since 10/1. I'm on the road judging the Dana Point State BBQ Championship and access to the tools I need to do the update are limited.
As of right now, we are 58% of the way toward our goal of $1,000 for Steve Dixon.
I believe two individuals are considering mailing a donation to me, and those are not included in this total.
Thanks to all who have participated so far!
Best,
Chris

I'm in...and glad to have helped. I can't imagine what it's like to lose everything. I wish Steve all the best.
As of this morning, we've reached and exceeded our goal of raising $1,000 for fellow Weber owner Steve Dixon!
I know there's one donation still in the mail, so this total will go even higher.
I'm going to leave this open to October 31 as originally planned. If you want to donate, please use the PayPal link below or contact me if you want to mail a donation.

I was late to this, but James Lake you are a Man of your words. Rock Star status in my book SIR.
Just shows the compassion Chris Allingham has for his fellow Weber BBQ enthusiast, Class act all the way.
Maybe we should all change our signature lines to this and blow it up?

As promised....second donation made.
PLEASE READ THIS:
I really appreciate Chris giving me/us the opportunity to help someone that has a common bond with the great members of this site. I knew that we would crush the goal and still are.
As you might recall Chris started the fund raiser with his own $50.00 and the promise to pay the 3.5% pay pal fee which for $1,000.00 would equal $35.00, now when we raise $2,000.00 that fee would be $70.00. I would like to propose to the member here that we don't hold Chris to paying the fee and that the fee would come off the top of our donations. I have no problem with 3.5% of my donation not reaching Steve, heck with some fund raisers only 60 to 80 percent of the donations reach the person.
Can I get a second from another member. Honestly it would be fair for Chris to put himself on the hook for $85.00 (initial donation + 3.5% fee) and have to pay more because the donation has raised more than $1,000.00.
