On Jan 13th 2010, our classmate, Rick Hyde, sent an e-mail to the class challenging us to "man up" and donate $50 or more to the charity of our choice to support relief efforts in Haiti. Rick also asked classmates to sound off with a loud "HOOAH" e-mail when they had contributed. As of 10AM on Sat, Jan 16th, 83 members of the class of 1979 have contributed $50 or more. However, the effort continues and we'd like to reach Rick's goal of 400 HOOAHs and over $20,000 as quickly as possible.

To help us keep track of our class' effort, you can enter your donation amount and who you donated to on an interactive spreadsheet by clicking here. It's very easy to use - just scroll down to the first empty row, enter the next number in the first column (so we can keep track of the number of classmates donating), who you donated to in the second column and the amount in the third column (don't worry about entering the dollar sign, this is done automatically). The total donations to date will be calculated automatically. After you have entered your donation, you can either click the Close button in the upper right corner of the webpage or just close the tab or your browser.

Please help the Class of 1979 show that it is truly the "Top of the Line" by helping out the desperate people in Haiti!!
