Benjamin Hill Memorial Fund

Kristie · October 23rd, 2009, 01:50

This thread is a donation thread for the Hill family.

Donation amount is entirely up to you. We will be collecting names and addresses so the Hill family will know who these donations came from even though we will be sending them one check in the total amount.

If there's a special message you'd like to convey (other than the main memorial thread), feel free to put it in this thread or send it to us via email at donate_bdhill1979@jetcareers.com and we'll make sure it's included with the donation list.

If you have any photos of M&G's or other times when you've met Ben, Please email them to me at kristie@jetcareers.com....I'm going to be grabbing the NJC 2007 photos and sending them with the donation.

I'm thinking we will leave the donation open for the next 2 weeks and then either deposit into the Wells Fargo Fund that the family has set up or send it specifically to the family via Fedex. Either way, they'll still get the list and anything else we collect.

We think a christmas donation would also be a very kind gesture. We will let you all do that on your own and will post a thread with the address to send gifts and cards when we get closer to the holidays.

below is the paypal button if you want to donate by paypal. You can also send a check if you prefer to go that route... keep in mind that snail mail can take up to 3 days and again, we will be putting everything together after 2 weeks.

If you have any questions, please let me know!

Thanks for doing that!

ChasenSFO · October 23rd, 2009, 02:20

Great!

Utah Valley University has also set up a fund at Utah Community Credit Union under Ben's name.

drunkenbeagle · October 23rd, 2009, 03:16

This has been a tough night for me to get through.

Kristie · October 23rd, 2009, 03:19

No, please don't!

Nicola (that you all just met) is really hurt by this too. Her best friend just passed away this week, that's why she decided to come out to Vegas. Hearing about it when we got in to TPA this morning was really hard on her after meeting all of you!

Kristie -thanks for being so awesome

TheAlchemist · October 23rd, 2009, 04:46

Thank you Kristie.

I have a picture of Ben and I taken at NJC 07 and Sarah will be e-mailing it to you.

XLR99 · October 23rd, 2009, 08:15

Thanks for getting that up so quickly, Kristie!!

Crockrocket94 · October 23rd, 2009, 08:46

Good work!

Thanks Kristie.

pullup · October 23rd, 2009, 09:17

Done. I just can't get over the picture of his beautiful girls...and that they will never remember him. How hard it will be when the oldest asks when daddy is coming home...Everybody please give no matter how little.

darrenf · October 23rd, 2009, 09:26

< SteveC edit: darren, please PM Kristie with your question. Thanks! >

sixoneseven · October 23rd, 2009, 10:24

Donated. Thanks for setting this up.

RIP Ben

aloft · October 23rd, 2009, 11:52

I think a group donation is a great idea. With as much time as Ben spent on here, Ginny had to know about JC, and I think it would be a meaningful gesture.

I would recommend people mail in a check or money order instead of using PayPal though, if only to avoid the fees PayPal will deduct. I'd much rather see it all go to Ben's family.

jskibo · October 23rd, 2009, 12:11

Thanks Kristie! Just having a new daughter two weeks ago, I feel for his family. Count me in!

TXTBOOK · October 23rd, 2009, 13:39

Check is in the mail.

I_Money · October 23rd, 2009, 14:04

I just donated - just an fyi the donate button doesn't work on the OP.

as far as i'm seeing...paypal isn't deducting any fees. I think it's because i'm using a donation button and not a "buy me" button.

Bumblebee · October 23rd, 2009, 15:00
