    Carey Wallace Back To School fund 2011, Jamaica

    I ran across this on the Negri Boardies FB page - thought I would post on this forum, too.
    I know lots of boardies like to bring down school supplies.
    With school getting ready to start in Jamaica, here is a way to donate to the school children even if we can't be there.
    http://www.negrilweddings.com/backtoschool2011/

    I know there are lots of online scams, these days.
    But this has all of Carey's contact info, and a personal video appeal from him - so I am convinced is authentic. I would not have donated, nor posted here, if I did not.
    Rob or Lisa - or someone in Negri now - can you pls confirm with Carey that it is legit, to alleviate anyone's concerns, and report back? TIA.
    (I hate being so paranoid)

    Thanks Rob. To be clear, I was not suspecting Carey - we all know what he does for the community.
    My concern was some scammer was taking advantage of Carey's good reputation and had put up a website Carey was not aware of.
    Glad to know that is not the case.

    I've exchanged emails with Carey and made a donation from our Lodge.

    Please help with this cause. It's way more important than spending money on a bunch of Rum Punch or Dirty Bananas!

    In fact, if everyone on this board sent the cost on one dirty banana they'd have a lot of money for the kids!

    Respect

    This is also great way to donate....rather than having to fill your luggage with items!

    The link is down now. Maybe because school supplies have been distributed and school started?
