As we end the business day, readers continue to make excellent donations to Buck-a-Hit Day. We've got $2,975 in hand, which with matching pledges raises the day's reader total to $5,950. Throw in our $1,200 for traffic to the site, and we're at $7,150, with the evening hours still ahead of us.

Thank you, readers! Now let's keep it going through midnight. If you haven't contributed yet, there's no time like the present. Your $1 is our $2.
