I am sure it took a thousand years for the first homo sapiens to learn how best to communicate face to face.
Do you suppose it will also take us a thousand years to figure out how to use the internet?

They DON'T match...
Even your post above proves that...
Bet = $5000.00
Amount posted = $5100.00
Locker they are for the same recipients and for the same amounts, only with the contribution rounded up to the nearest hundred.
If he'd made only the minimum contribution called for by his bet, he would have given $1,666.67 to each. Instead he gave $1,700 to each.
All that proves is that he is generous.

Thing about fatty is he seemed infected with internet Troll syndrome and had too much time on his hands.
Every time I heard of someone meeting him in person.. at face lift or whatever they had good things to say about him.
SO perhaps it's best for him and us if he stays off the net but I'd like to meet him sometime for sure.
Anycase damn solid to give in a way that has a real chance of changing/saving lives. Good causes there.

Considering that Greg Barnes and Chris Mac (ASCA) and Werner (YOSAR) view these pages frequently, a falsification of this information would be pretty stupid, and very quickly revealed.
Fortunately for me I have not needed the services of YOSAR, but I have benefited from ASCA (and also done replacement work using materials provided by them) so I'll say Thanks, Jeff!

Thanks Jeff,
The replacement is the easy part. The money for the hardware is the hard part. It's people like you that make it all come together.

One can always ask and be with certainty that this type of request is reasonable. By IRS rules a charitable fundraising group can expense out 90% of it's donations leaving only 10% for the nominal purpose. Where can the 90% go? Administrative salaries. Get it?
And your point is?
I ran a "not for profit" 501.c3 in NY back in the 80s. It was a chamber music group. Most of our donated and earned income went to salaries, our salaries (the musicians.) Our purpose was to perform music. We paid ourselves to do so.
I do know 1st hand that asca is a very lean running organization.

He was probably going to donate the exact amount regardless...
TAX WRITE OFF...
I just DON'T buy into his sh!t at all...
Sure he gets the tax write off, so what! All a tax write off does is lower his taxable income by 5K, it still costs him +/-$3500 out of pocket. More than I gave this year....

Well done and thank you for your generosity.
I've benefited from all three organizations, actually, all Yosemite climbers have.
Looking forward to running into you over a glass of wine or three. Hopefully soon. Sorry you weren't at Facelift.

Me? Kludge? I have no money, you know that. It was just three months or so ago I loaned you my last $30. I knew you were good for it. I think you paid me back within an hour!
Survival, what exactly do you want him to say about the election? It didn't go the way he wanted. Ask him on Facebook yourself, Jeff Elfont

Its hard to believe there are doubters.
Jeff is quite the philanthropist .
He has been supporting some of these causes for some time.
His heart is always in the right place even though he may find his foot in his mouth sometime.
Im not much for politics or anything for that matter so I dont miss him here but I did at facelift (he is always very generous there with wine and such) and witty and funny.
Here's a toast to the generous fatty!!
