Hey guys, this is MrSkullcrusher's wife. I actually went to our bank and talked to the president there and had her set me up with an official non-profit account. I don't know all the technical points to it, (whether it would beconsidered a 501(c)(3) organization or not) but I wanted to make sure there would be no question that any money associated with the contest did not go through our personal bank accounts. My husband's main lift-off guy is the one who died. He was only 28, was married barely a year and had a little boy---no life insurance. Lifting was what he loved to do, so we wanted to put something together in his honor and memory. We were able to get pretty good support from our community and even set up a link through our convention and visitor's bureau

Thanks so much for your support -- it is greatly appreciated! I'm sure we'll have pictures and video of the event, plus we have a 3 hour live radio remote scheduled and it will be covered by our local newspaper.
