Although submissions were a tad slower than I was hoping this past week, we have raised $300 through SOCEngine's directory submissions for hurricane relief. I'm looking to send the money to the Red Cross, but I'm hoping there's a URL where they can accept direct PayPal donations so we don't pay fees withdrawing the money and again with credit card processing.

Also, if you're considering getting a link, now is the time. I'm going to make the donation by midnight tomorrow, so please consider helping us boost this figure. I'll be donating some personal funds as well, as have others in my office, but it would be nice to have a strong showing. The need is great and the cause worthy; besides which, you need more link pop anyway.

UPDATE: As Paypal has offered direct payment without fees to the United Way Fund, I've gone that route. Hopefully, this will help with a lot of the long term costs of rebuilding people's homes and lives.
