Project Open Hand Plate to Plate 5K

You've heard Matt Cain tell you to donate/participate in the second annual Project Open Hand Plate to Plate 5K run/walk. Since you all ROCKED two years in a row sponsoring me in the AIDS Walk, I'm back to beg for your money for a good cause. Project Open Hand provides community nutrition solutions for homebound seniors, the critically ill, and those suffering from HIV/AIDS.

So donate. The walk is Sunday. Matt Cain told you to donate, and you don't want to make Matt Cain angry. You won't like him when he's angry.

As a participant, I get a ticket to the game that day. Maybe I'll see some of you there.

My donation page is here: Plate to Plate My goal is $500, which will provide meals and groceries for three months. That's a pretty big deal for the people who need it.

Thank you to those who donate!

Thanks! It’s a pretty hardcore event. I have to finish the walk in an hour. For a lazy lump like me that will require a lot of effort.

Thanks, Baron.

I just put some doe-ray-durham in your kitty, and suggest that instead of paying me for tonight’s ticket, just put that toward the cause, too. All the best. You’re a doll.

I don’t know, I haven’t read it either. But America: The Book is damn funny.

Especially Chapter 9: The Rest of the World. For Jon Stewart fans I’d also recommend Naked Pictures of Famous People. Very different, but still amusing.

America: The Book is much better than Naked Picture of Famous People. It’s still worth a quick read, though.

Who’s name is Mason Kong? That’s a badass name. It’s like an action hero name.

That’s a buddy from LiveJournal. Fellow Giants fan and Bay Area lifer. He’s a good guy. Always donates to my charity stuff.

I see this as a something in the vein of Dr. Tran

OH SHIT! It’s DR. TRAN was especially amusing.

Wish I could pitch in

but this not having a job thing makes it tough. I actually wanted to do the plate to plate this year, but alas being unemployed makes it difficult to spend the registration fee. Best of luck Baron!

I may not have a name as cool as MASON KONG, but I kicked in a little bit.

I’m deathbytamarind. I used to post a lot, but now I mostly just complain about work, school, my physical appearance, and how the combination of three are keeping me from having a boyfriend. And sometimes I post recipes!

I heartily endorse this event or product

I and portions of my extended family are running/walking/staggering. My new running shoes seem to cut off the circulation to my feet, so that should make for an entertaining experience for all.

Go Barooooon!

Just noticed this thread and made a donation. Will Cain now pat me in the butt now that I’m a gamer?

Of course he will. Donate extra and you can have a happy ending.
