Hey guys! So I finally got through all of the paperwork and I am officially allowed to start collecting donations. A brief video description of my project is here:
[video=youtube;0OszBNhM-UE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0OszBNhM-UE[/video]
Donation link: https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cm...UR7FLRNVTQ
What is CAPTAIN: Community Action for Parents, Teens and Interested Neighbors is one of the most recognized and highly respected volunteer-driven organizations, serving the principal social, educational and prevention needs of youth and families in Saratoga County and beyond. CAPTAINs programs and services address the core issues facing society today: youth homelessness, poverty, youth violence, underage drinking and drug use, academic failure and family dysfunction.
Project Scope: Construction of a 10 ft by 10 ft storage facility at CAPTAIN's Runaway and Homeless Youth Shelter location. Facility to store gear for high-adventure rope course and other outdoor activities for use by the various CAPTAIN programs. In addition, a 4 x 8 x 8 foot firewood storage structure will be relocated, and a 100 ft hiking path created in the woods for accessing the high-adventure ropes course.
Project Schedule: Fundraising September 2012. Storage facility constructed, structure relocation, and path constructed - completed mid-October 2012.
Estimated Project Cost: Materials $1,000. Volunteers - 25; hours worked 240. Curtis Lumber (http://www.curtislumber.com/) has generously donated materials at reduced costs.
Fundraising Goal: 100 donations at $10 each!

If you have ANY questions, please comment or PM me! I will respond ASAP!
As for the whole online donations: I think it will be VERY cool if this works and I can raise the money this way. It will open up alternative donation methods for future Eagle Scouts, and help them achieve the rank of Eagle. For this to work, I am relying on YOU! I need you to spread the word; if you have a YouTube channel, make a brief video telling your subscribers to watch my video and help donate. Tell your friends/guild/alliance in Maple/WoW/Diablo/etc.!
Thank you for taking the time to read this and helping spread the word!
