    Any way you can tag the Air Fence Fund? I searched it and it came up with nothing. Anyone did this? The person thanking you hopefully won't be me but might be someone you know that 'utilized' air fence.

    Have been for years. So far it's given them a little over a hundred bucks. BTW - it's called the Roadracing World Action Fund.

    No, that's the quarterly total from of all contributions. Here's my contribution results:

    This means that all contributions to the RW Action Fund since inception has been $3,000

    No. That's how much everyone generated last quarter. I was a small fraction of that but it shows that the fractions add up. Not sure what the going rate is for a section, but, we all helped.

    The AmazonSmile Foundation will donate 0.5% of the purchase price from your eligible AmazonSmile purchases to the eligible charitable organization of your choice.
    I'm still recovering from lose of income from Hurricane Florence & the bridge that connects the mainland to Oak Island closing for 6 months, that my purchases are way down this year.

    and as a side note, I hate using Amazon and their monopoly

    Is there a way to have purchases through Amazon Prime to go to the RRW fund? I don't order that much from Amazon (hence the question) but every little bit helps. TIA!

    Go to amazon smile (smile.amazon.com I think), and select your charity of choice from there. Then make all of your purchases through the Smile page to allow your charity to reap the benefits.

    This just came in my email:

    That means I generated about 1.9% of this quarter's donation, which is sad. How do we get more people to do this?

    If you use the Amazon app on your phone you also have to set that up for smile to give to the RRWAF funds.
