Community,
So a friend of a friend let me know about a 12 that wanted to make a positive change to this friendly thing we've had going on between us and our friends in San Fran. Instead of billboards or airplanes, how about we get as many donations together as we can for an incredible facility, UCSF Benioff Childrens Hospital, and make that donation in the name of the 12th man?
http://www.ucsfbenioffchildrens.org/

I absolutely love this idea, and I feel better about getting our .NET community behind it because it not only further stokes this awesome rivalry between our teams and fans, but it does so while helping a great cause.

Please take a moment to check this out and share with your fellow 12's so we can get a donation for them that every NFL fanbase will know about!

Here's the detail and links:

Hawks Fans for UCSF Childrens Hospital - created by Seahawks fan Christopher Hart

We want to thank the San Francisco 49's Fans for their generous donation to Seattle Children's Hospital. We know that money donated to children's hospitals goes right to helping kids that have little to no insurance get the treatment they need. We know this, because our own Quarterback Russell Wilson spends much of his own time at Seattle Children's Hospital, rallying his community behind such an amazing cause.

Seattle fans, let's take a page out of Wilson's playbook and show San Francisco how generous we can be. If every Hawks fan gave just $1, think of the difference we could make in some kids lives?


All of the proceeds from this will go directly to UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital.

And why don't you check out what inspired this... Russell Wilson's work with our very own Seattle Children's: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zW0ASHGSgig

Let's do this!

This info has also been posted on the donation page: http://www.gofundme.com/5tirqw

Giant Update:

A "Anonymous Fan" of the 49ers has officially offered to match whatever we raise for UCSF and donate it Seattle Children's Hospital ... UP TO $100,000!!!

I think San Francisco just said "Challenge Accepted!"

Come on 12th! Let's do this!


UPDATE!

Suqaumish Clearwater Casino Resort is going to match whatever we raise for San Francisco's Children's Hospital and donate it right to Seattle Children's Hospital! (up to $5,000)

Another great reason to chip in!!! GO HAWKS!

I sent a message to King5 and Kiro 7 TV stations to see if they are interested in giving this some play.

For those close to the team either by twitter or in reality can you all lobby the Seahawks organization (players, coaches, executives) to donate as well to both hospitals.

Spirit of 12's x Spirit of Giving

This rivalry went from maddeningly annoying to almost tearfully awesome.

Come get some, San Fran.

Just donated. Mods need to sticky this, way to much goodness to let it get buried. Reading the 200 responses on UCSF's donation page from donors it seems that the media is starting to pick up on this.

Lets go hawk fans, 12.00 bucks each and keep the comments civil. Represent the PNW! I'm sure several people on this site have taken their children to Children's Hospital. The doctors and care they provide for children is unmatched in the PNW. By donating to UCSF it will motivate donations to a world class facility on our region.

As I mentioned in the comments sections, lets go Hawk fans, FAN UP!!

Great idea for a couple of great causes.

$12 in the name of the 12th man...


Yes. Heck with 1$ each.
12 bucks each. That's a burger and a beer. We all can do without that. I understand that some folks don't donate money, this is a great cause and will bring a positive vibe to the rivalry.
Nothing but good kharma can come from this. IMHO

Took my debit card / credit card no problem. Represent the PNW, 12.00 bucks. As mentioned previously, less than a lunch at a fast food joint. FAN UP.

SO much better than battling billboards and banners.

Took the money that was allocated for a jersey and gave it to them, courtesy of "BeastQuake"

Awesome, I saw that donation,very cool sir!! I only donated $29 and $12 but I'm trying to talk my bosses into dropping their full 20k that's set aside for year end donations into this and have clued in my friends that work for vulcan to try and get this in front of a certain owner of a certain football team that we root for...fingers crossed.
