But yeah, what I say is like, you know, maybe you want to tell your kids to do a lemonade stand and the proceeds can come to this.
Or, you know, get a bunch of friends together and put something together.
I know the great White Sox fans in the 108 did something last year.
Even though it's Cubs for a Cure, they wanted to be a part of it and support it.
So I think they raised a little over, I think it was $1,080 if I remember correctly.
I apologize if I'm shorting you guys there.
But yeah, big $23 donations for Rhino, $83 donations for Terry.
Whatever it is, every little bit helps.
And I know I've told it to you guys in the past, but I've been involved in a lot of different charities, and they're all great.
But sometimes you do a gala or something, and it's like, man, we raised a ton of money.
But then you look around, and it's like everyone's eating filet mignon and drinking top-shelf booze, and then there's a band.
And you're like, well...
A couple hundred grand went to this event, which is fine.
I understand you spend money to make money.
But I think that what is really cool about this, and the Cubs are just such amazing partners, is if we do...
Next 10 people who donate $250 get an autographed PCA baseball.
The Cubs cover the cost of shipping out the baseballs.
They cover the website, the infrastructure.
And so since everything is donated to this, last year we raised $750,540.
And at the end of all of the accounting, $750,540 was wired to BrainUp, and we can put that towards clinical trials for research.
