JR97 2 Report post Posted February 19, 2008 The final score was 2,223 for Team Hope to 2,250 for Team Cure.wow. a close one. :) Good job, Boys.Thank god their charity was for actual cancer research and not just "awareness."What happens to money raised for "awareness" anyway? I mean, it's not like there are too many people over the age of 12 in North America that aren't aware of cancer's existence. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Law Goalie 147 Report post Posted February 19, 2008 I believe that 'awareness' money is generally raised for some specific cancer (breast, prostate, etc.) goes to the general fund of whatever institution is prominent in that field, rather than to some specific research project.

shooter27 116 Report post Posted February 19, 2008 Thats pretty amazing that they did it all with 40 players, I would have figured you would need 40 players per team, with 2 teams of 20 playing 12 hours at a time, but man those guys must be just dead to the world today.
