They decided to collect out front of their Saturday college football games. The Penn State fans lead off with a tailgate party on Saturday, October 27th before the Penn State Ohio State football game in Happy Valley. The generous Penn State fans raised $2,522 and challenged the Ohio State fans to match that total.

To continue the challenge the Ohio State tailgaters found some Wisconsin fans who have agreed to take the challenge to Wisconsin. Stay tuned..... Does your tailgate party have what it takes?

eBay & MissionFish
The Cure Tay-Sachs Foundation is a register charity with MissionFish. MissionFish is non-profit charity affiliated with eBay. The two organizations have teamed up to allow eBay sellers the chance to support their favorite charities. Every eBay seller has the opportunity to designate the Cure Tay-Sachs Foundation as a benefactor from their sale. The seller chooses our charity and then a percentage of the sale they wish to donate (must be at least $5).
The downside is MissionFish does take up to 20% to cover their costs as a 501(c)(3) non-profit (the percentage gets lower the higher the selling price). If an eBay seller is classified as a "Direct Seller" for the foundation, then MissionFish takes no fee.
The Cure Tay-Sachs Foundation has set up an eBay account so we can sell items on-line to benefit the foundation. If you are an eBay user and wish to help find a CURE — donate a portion of your sales to the Cure Tay-Sachs Foundation. If you have items you would like to sell to benefit the Cure Tay-Sachs Foundation — let us know and we can put them up for sale using the foundation's eBay account.
Contact us at questions@curetay-sachs.org if you need help or information can be found at www.MissionFish.org or www.eBay.com
