We're sorry but Boobie-Thon donations are now closed for 2006. We ask that you still please donate directly to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. Please keep in mind we will not be able to record your donation as part of this year's blogger event. Check back next year for information on the 2007 event!

Your donation will no longer be recorded in our 2006 totals.


We will not have a donation letter from Komen for 2006 — for this event, rather than handle donations via PayPal as in years past, we decided to make this donation drive a "pledge drive" (as we also did in 2005 and 2004). The reasons for this were outlined in detail here, but basically it boiled down to greater ease for everyone involved. Both Susan G. Komen and Children's Hospital Boston offered secure servers and tax-deductible donations. Donors were not required to be a member of PayPal in order to donate at either site, and PayPal was not able to skim a percentage off the top of donation amounts before we ever saw them. (Both Children's Hospital Boston and Komen allowed the option to donate by mail and by phone as well.) Donors were required to provide us a copy of their donation receipt with personal information removed in order to be added to our totals.


Here are our official donation letters from Susan G. Komen for 2002 and 2003 when we collected donations directly, rather than take pledges as in 2004, 2005, and 2006.

For donors who chose to make "honorarium donations" and "memorium donations" to Komen in 2006, it was recommend they do so in the names of Sandee and Dori. Honorarium and memorium donations were not required. They were merely a suggestion on our part.

Komen provided tribute cards for those who made honorarium and memorium donations, noting donors had made a donation in honor of the person specified. All tribute cards will be passed along to Sandee or Dori's family at the Boobie-Thon's conclusion as they are received.


Please note that in 2006, donors of $50.00 or more received special, passworded access to the "pay-per-boobie" page with bare-boobie photographs.
