Preliminary Totals

The competition aspect of the fundraiser officially ended at midnight Pacific on November 27, and the team totals at that time (plus checks received by mail) will be the totals used for the standings. However, the widgets will remain active until Monday (Dec. 1) when the main website will be updated, and I will give full fundraising numbers after that. We also have a few auctions (unaffiliated donations) that will not be completed until tomorrow night.

So, here are the preliminary totals (I'm still waiting for word on a full tally of team-specific check donations, so these could change):

Army	31,927
Navy	21,475
Marines	10081
Air Force	9437
Coast Guard	1766
Unaffiliated	8400
TOTAL	$83,086

The level of unaffiliated donations may continue to rise significantly, as those who send checks tend not to designate a team, and any additional donations coming in through the widgets from now until Monday will not be credited to a specific team in the final standings.

MOST IMPORTANTLY: Thank you all for your generosity of time, spirit and donations, and for all your hard work. Due to a number of factors, it was a bit tough this year, but you did amazing work. And because of that work, Valour-IT is going to be able to continue to supply voice-activated laptops and other technology to help those who have given so much. Thank you!

(I'll have more detailed thank yous after Monday when the full numbers come in).
