I thought it would be a good idea to post up the results from the Gift Card 'drive' that I posted about last week. What started off as nothing more than wanting to help a few families with $50 cards turned into a really great turnout for not only those families, but for donations as well. Through the help of donations, we were able to send 16 Families Gift Cards for $150 each!
On behalf of the Families that are going to receive these gift cards,
to those that donated.
The Gift Cards were mailed today, so to those families that are waiting, be checking your mailboxes soon...
Here is the damage from WalMart:

Just for total transperency in this: The total amount that I had to spend was $2440. I didn't want to make the cards for odd amounts, so I put $150 on each and the remaining went towards the cards to mail them and stamps.

That's some sweet reward points on the AMEX as well...
