Saves for Kids: Playoff Edition!

PrintThe Japers' Rink community is going to continue the Saves For Kids pledge drive during the playoffs! In the regular season, community members pledged $4,173.75! Be sure to check out the regular season pledge drive and see what we managed to do. I want to thank everyone, from the bottom of my heart, for making the regular season drive such a HUGE success, no matter you donation. The volume of community members who participated makes me proud to say "I belong to Japers' Rink!"
But now its the playoffs and we're ready to keep giving, and hope that Theo and the Capitals cost us a lot of money. Lots and lots of money. And we want you to join us!
You set you donation levels. Put this information in your reply, and I will update the list each day(ish), along with a running total of money raised after each game (might be the following morning, but you get the idea). You can donate 5 cents for each save, a flat $5 for a win, whatever. More important than you donation is your participation, no matter the size.
Rather than list everyone's pledges here, I'm just going to list names. The link to the spreadsheet showing names, pledges, and running totals, will be posted in the comments. If you don't see your name, drop me an e-mail or post a comment and I'll add you.

I’m just going to do $1 a save now and then depending on what that looks like by the end of the playoffs I’ll decide on an additional donation or not. I’m thinking the $5 a save is just too much right now (I ended up paying way too much come tax time)
I look to the future because that's where I'm going to spend the rest of my life.
no prob, completely understand!

Thanks so much for doing this. I think I said Theo only for the regular season and all goalies for the playoffs. Is that what you had?

I’ll double check my master tomorrow (It’s in a folder at work) I moved some people around in the spreadsheet for the playoffs, but didn’t do a great job of editing to reflect payoff vs. reg season.

No problem. Just checkin’. Also, I think I missed any response that was given to the query about Saves for Kids doing tax paperwork for any of us donating $250+ individually.

Red Birdie, I want to thank you so much for everything you’ve done and continue to do in this effort. I really appreciate it. Not that it’s a big deal, but for some reason my name got changed somewhere along the way. It should be N2CAPS, as opposed to NSCAPS. Thanks again! Here’s hoping our donations continue to grow with lots of saves and wins for a very worthy cause!
Birdie?
The post up there looks totally screwy from my PoV!

things are a little out of control in RedBirdieLand today. Not sure when I will get a chance to do updates, but certainly prior to tomorrow’s game. Sorry guys :(

apk3000, I have you down as “$10 per theo star of game, $20 star of week, $200 Conn Smythe.” I just want to clarify if those stars of the game and week are for #1 star only, or any on the three stars. Thanks!

Any star, even in losing efforts. Easier to figure out, no? Anyway, Theo, I really want to give up that bonus $200!
"Yes, but Rimmer Directive 271 states just as clearly, 'No chance you metal ba****d.'"
no problem! And that’s another $10 to the total!

$106.50 for last night. Not bad, not bad at all, all things considered. As always, let me know if you need to make some changes.
Spreadsheet has been updated to reflect Game 1

Hi RedBirdie – I’m also participating in the playoffs! My pledges are listed on the original post – I think it was 10 cents a save in the playoffs, $5 a win and $10 a shutout…
Come on Ovi! Make me pay for that $2 a goal! I want a hat trick darn it!
Follow me on Twitter!! I even say some relevant stuff sometimes

it’s just $2 for Ovi goals, right? I have down that you’re not continuing Backstrom’s assists for playoffs

I will have new info on Monday on donating via pay-pal! Mr. B set up a bank account just for the pledge drive for those of you who want to donate that way.

Thanks for this update! One quick thing: I’ll go in for any of the Caps goalies instead of just Theo. Thanks again!
no problem, I’ll edit to reflect that.

$214.95 after last night. If you want to switch to all goalies, let me know and I’ll make the change (or you can really complicate things and do Theo saves only, but wins for all goalies) Updated spreadsheet is the same link as above.

Redbirdie – If you can, I’ll make my donations for the playoffs (retroactively) for all goalies instead of just Theo
Thanks

Eh, not a question now that I see you carried for the reg season total in your post. $5,000 most definitely in sight!
"This guy is an android. He's not human....Oh my goodness."
I’m thinking, with regular season included, $7,000 might be attainable.

Reup me!
Im in for $0.10 a save, $1 a win and $10 a shutout for ANY goalie, retroactive to the start of the series. Also, I will do $10 for any goals by Matt Bradley.

I added you to the spreadsheet! Because every pledge drive #needsmoreBradley

Hi Birdie, my pledge was only for Theo playing, sorry if that complicates things.
I look to the future because that's where I'm going to spend the rest of my life.
nope, not a problem, easily corrected

Great Idea - Sign Me Up
I took me a while to figure the possible options.
Let’s do 10 cents a save, $3 per win, $7 per series, and $25 bonus for the Cup.
Retro this for the series to include any goalie.

ok, gang, sorry for the delay. You know how these things go after a crushing loss and too much beer…
But, I’ve updated the total, as well as the spreadsheet! Here’s hoping for a win on Monday, because it sure as heck cannot come soon enough.

I’m not on your playoff list, but my pledge remains a nickel-a-save, all goalies, as far as the team takes us.

added you to the spreadsheet! (I’ve been slacking on updating the list here. I need to do that tomorrow)

Add me to the List at a rate of. . . .
For any goalie:
10 cents a save
$3 a win, with an additional $5 for a shutout (so a shutout win is $8 plus saves)
Also, $3 per goal scored by Semin from here on out. . .
Forget about finding your perfect match, I want a website where you can find your perfect arch-nemesis
do you want this to start tonight, or retroactive to the start of the playoffs?

Do you want to collect checks or should we just send the money directly with a note to credit it to the Rink? I was only playing through the regular season, so I’d like to fulfill my pledge.
