Buck-a-Hit Day finishes with $13,025
The final tally of our Buck-a-Hit Day fundraising is now complete. Our generous sponsors have all kept to their original pledges despite our missing our traffic goal by a bit, and contributions by other readers went far beyond our expectations. And so the amounts that will go to charities over the next week are as follows:
| Charity | Amount |
| Virginia Garcia Memorial Medical Center | $1,434 |
| Children's Heart Foundation, Ore. Chapter | $ 998 |
| Sisters of the Road | |
| Ronald McDonald House Charities of Ore. & SW Wash. | $2,104 |
| Human Solutions | $1,228 |
| Oregon Food Bank | $5,498 |
| Charity to be named by comment contest winner | $ 250 |
| Total |
So nice. Thanks again to all who visited, and especially to all who gave.
UPDATE, 10:08 a.m.: A very-last-minute $50 gift to Sisters of the Road has pushed us over the $13,000 mark.

$13 grand in a day? From a very limited base? Of probably at least somewhat limited means?
That's a real tribute, and accomplishment.

There are great people in Portland. Always have been. Thanks to all of them, and to our givers from far-off places, too.
