$211,246 to ChadTough (which was then matched)
When Chase Winovich decided to stick around, I donated a few dollars to ChadTough. I just got the email saying this:
"Yesterday was an uplifting day!
We, along with Chase Winovich, Grant Newsome, Coach Don Brown, and Larry Prout Jr., presented a $211,246 check to C.S. Mott Children's Hospital for the Pediatric Brain Tumor Research Initiative.
The money - which will be matched by UM Regent Ron Weiser - will be put to amazing use, expanding Dr. Carl Koschmann's lab for Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma-specific research.
This would not have been possible without YOU! You were inspired by the efforts of Chase, Grant, Coach Brown, Larry, Mo Hurst Jr., Josh Metellus, and Devin Bush II and made a donation to the cause.Please watch this special thank you video from Chase Winovich!"

One way to keep donating to ChadTough is to use Amazon's Smile program when shopping on that marketplace (even if - or maybe especially if - you're a Prime member). Instead of using the "www.amazon.com" URL, go to "smile.amazon.com." You can select one of the recommended charities, or choose your own. ChadTough can be found after a simple search.
You won't raise a ton of money using Amazon Smile, but if enough MGoBloggers do it, the total will add up in a hurry.

If you don't want to have to try and remember, you can get the SmileAlways extension for Chrome, which redirects you every time you go to Amazon to go to smile.amazon.com
