Yes, we are! It's on December 11. We'll start the countdown after Thanksgiving.

Thanks, looking forward to it

FYI, there won't be any rewards for getting the most donations this year. The only reward is the random drawing of the name of a donor each hour. The donor can choose a charity to receive $500.

Ahh fudge!!

We can still concentrate our pledges into one or two early-morning hours. This will slightly increase the chances of having one of our names being drawn for those hours.

Did you know that every hour  one lucky ROCstar (that's you!) will be randomly chosen to give an extra $500 bonus to the charity of their choice? There are 24 chances to win!

Even though we're not racing for most in an hour like last year I would think if we focus on one hour it's more likely one of us will be picked.

Last year we focused on the first two hours -- midnight to 2 AM. It worked well for us. We should probably try for that again with a slight change. We can donate once each hour in order to get our names in the hourly drawings.

Remember the rules are different this year. There is no automatic prize for having the most donors in a 2-hour block. It's just a series of 24 random drawings, one each hour. However, we can greatly improve our chances of having one of our names picked if all of us donate together in the same 1-hour period when there are very few other people donating. This would be in the very early hours of December 11.

So donate a dollar at midnight. Then stay awake for another hour or set your alarm for 1 AM to donate another buck. If you're a real die-hard, try again at 2, 3, and 4 AM!
