The really long post in which I tell you what you’re doing this Saturday.
- November 23, 2009
- filed under Random
I bet you thought I forgot all about our sick kids at Children’s Hospital, didn’t you?
I bet you thought I gave up on giving the older patients there a gaming room in which they can spend a few hours on Super Mario Sunshine, forgetting for a moment that they’re really sick.
You would be wrong. I NEVER FORGET ABOUT THE KIDS!
Since that contest ended in which Children’s did not win a $10,000 gameroom courtesy of Microsoft and the Children’s Miracle Network, I’ve been hard at work emailing and shenanigana-ing with the greatest group of people in the Burgh … Pittsburgh’s Social Media crowd. Bloggers, twitterererers, podcasters, etc.
Not only that, thanks to reader Sooska for the suggestion, I went to the Mario Lemieux Foundation and asked if they would serve as the middleman between us and Children’s Hospital and they said yes! and then FLIPPED A FEW CARTWHEELS! and maybe even threw us a party in their heads. Mario Lemieux’s foundation has a division called The Playroom Project that places playrooms in local hospitals. To my knowledge, this will be the first big-kid playroom they’ll donate, on our behalf.
In addition, I have other BIG GIANT NEWS about an INTERNATIONAL company that has proactively contacted me to offer to help with this and golly boy howdy gee, it is awesome. Just need to work out a few details before I announce that, but a hint: FURNITURE!
So, our goal? $10,000 for our sick kids. That will be enough to buy some sweet LCD TVs, awesome gaming systems, awesome mind-numbing, addictive, forget-you’re-sick-for-a-while games, computers, computer games, AND even a bit left over to purchase some hand-held gaming systems for those children too sick to or unable to leave their beds. We’ll bring the games to THEM!
High-five, Burghers!
Now, you ask, can’t UPMC just fork over a quick 10 grand and do this themselves? I don’t know. Maybe they could. The point is that you and me, WE are giving this room to these kids as a gift and we’re essentially letting them know that there’s a whole city of people that would really like to see them kick the hell out of whatever it is they’re fighting at the moment.
Why gaming, you ask? I’m an amazing mind reader. You girls are also thinking about Daniel Sepulveda shirtless and you boys are also thinking about beer. Moving on. Little story. When I first made the decision to come out and reveal my identity, my butler Mike Woycheck and I began planning a charity reveal that would have taken place at Diesel and would have been a butt-kicking good time complete with celebrities and auctions and booze, etc. The goal was to raise $5,000 for a local charity, but I wasn’t sure which charity I wanted to raise it for. I considered the John Challis Courage for Life Foundation, but I wondered if there was a more direct way I could help sick kids. Then the next day at church there was an announcement that a young boy named Genre Baker, a church member, was fighting leukemia and in doing so was raising money not only for the medical bills associated with the next several years of treatments (as it stands right now, his blood counts are low and that’s not good. More tests this week.) and also because he wanted to be able to give the gift of gaming to other patients that didn’t have a hand-held gaming system like he had to pass the hours in the hospital.
I ended up nixing the fundraiser idea because it got too big and I got scared because I’m little old me, and I’m a writer. I should use my words to reveal myself. And I did.
Combining what I had learned about Genre Baker with the contest to bring a gaming room to Children’s Hospital, it felt like I found a way to use what little bit of notoriety I have to do some good for our local sick kids.
Bring them some gaming, FTW!
Now, next Monday is your first chance to make a straight donation to this effort (kickass name and logo to be unveiled soon), and those donations will be turned over to Mario’s foundation for safekeeping until we have given them $10,000.
However, this week is Thanksgiving week and while you and I might be enjoying our families and friends and the love we’re surrounded with every day, we are obviously aware that there are those who are suffering, who are in hospitals, orphanages, missing their loved ones, and on and on.
My plan is that this Saturday, after we’ve had a few days to be thankful for what we have, that we use our Saturday night out to give to those that DON’T have.
You have two choices if you’d like to help.
1. This Saturday from 6-9 is Mariachi Night at my husband’s restaurant Las Velas. There will be a real live Mariachi Band and also $5 margaritas! My husband has generously agreed to donate 15% of all of the sales from that entire day to my effort. I’ll be there with my whole family for dinner. Every sister except Tina Fey will be there with their families and we are going to have a grand time eating and drinking and spending our money (yes, my husband makes us pay, too). Please come out and JOIN US! Maybe you can come down and go ice skating across the square and then head over for some dinner and fun with me. From now to Saturday, I’m going to try to come up with some extra incentives for you to come out because the more money we all spend, the more money goes into the pot toward the $10,000. I’m hoping to get a few local celebrities there as well. Wish me luck!
2. Ti Kanaval benefiting the BRESMA Orphanage. This takes place at the Altar Bar in the Strip also from 6-9 this Saturday. This event supports two local sweethearts and is only $12 at the door. Ali and Jamie McMutrie have dedicated the last several years of their lives working at an orphanage in Haiti. Let me tell you something — they are risking their lives every single day doing what they’re doing for over 100 orphaned children. They have an AMAZING story and this is their one event here in Pittsburgh to help raise funds for their efforts in Haiti. There will be loads of fun there as well. After I spend a few hours at Las Velas, I’m going to ALSO head over to this fundraiser for a bit to give these girls my support. I’ve never been to the Altar Bar, so you guys can all be my date for my first outing there, since my husband will have to stay back at the restaurant. Here are some pictures of Ali and Jamie:
(source)
Amazing girls.
There’s no reason that BOTH Of these events shouldn’t raise money for their respective causes because either way, in the end, it is the CHILDREN that matter.
This week, I’ll be providing more details about the Las Velas fundraiser and on how the donations will be taken and processed come Monday. PLEASE NOTE: If you cannot make it to the fundraiser, you will be able to donate directly via the mechanism we will set up on Monday. Everyone will have a chance to pitch in. We’re going to keep at it until we reach our goal. My butler, Mike, also is generously donating a portion of the sales of all shirts sold at www.wearpittsburgh.com until our goal is reached.
This is the kind of group effort it will take to get us the money we need to allow the foundation to get started on that gameroom.
This is the best of Pittsburgh, my friends. I hope you all can pitch in and help.
More details every day!
Now, Burghers far and wide, if we do this thing … if we raise this $10,000 for our sick kids … you will not only be richly rewarded in some fashion at some point in your life, you’ll not only feel a great sense of satisfaction that you gave back this holiday season, I will also … oh, my … reveal my space-themed high school graduation picture.
It’s on.

Perfect timing, UPMSee. I was thinking about everything I should be thankful for this week, and you’re number 1 with bullet. We need douchebags like you as a point of reference to see how good other people can be.
You obviously don’t “get” this blog and haven’t read it very often. Ginny blogged for weeks and weeks urging people to help the hospital win some cool stuff for kids who are sick and dying. It didn’t work out. So she took time to organize an effort to raise funds. She came up with an idea for a promotion and got her husband to join in. And she got Mario’s foundation involved. She’s not asking for a prize – she’s excited and proud of her efforts as she should be. Lighten up if you’re offended by her obvious excitement about creating some good news.
I’m sure you’ve felt the same way before – or will soon when you sit around with the rest of your troll buddies and exclaim how you verbally nailed that “poser” PittGirl (who by the way is a lot less ANONYMOUS than you are) and her followers.

Here’s what I’m going to say:
a-Ginny, you’re funny as hell. You make us laugh when we’re having a really crappy day. To the point that we all, at any given time, in and out of Pittsburgh are crying from laughing so hard.
b-when you choose to use your powers for good, you SHOULD pat yourself on the back. And who better than someone with sooooo many readers to remind us that other people need a little help.
So please don’t let the troll get to you. You’re WAY better than that.

November 23, 2009 5:08 pm
So, to summarize, the sick kids did not get a gameroom. Ginny heads up an effort to get them one. Uses her resources and connections she has to try to make it happen. WHAT AN EGO!!
First of all, the gameroom idea did not come from Ginny. Remember the contest?
And it is not blowing your own horn to say that you’ve been putting forth effort to organize a project such as this. That simply stating the obvious. I’m grateful that all I’m being asked for is cash!
Finally, it would be egotistical to raise money for a gameroom for yourself. It is a wonderful thing that Ginny has a heart for kids and can inspire lots of people to do something good.

help the hosptial?! UPMC needs help getting a 10K gameroom in a building that cost more that both stadiums combined and the leftover amount could make pittsburgh’s pension solvent?
rather it’s an exercise to help the smug and self-satisfied feel oh-so charitable when they are drinking discounted margaritas at her old man’s place.
all i am is ridiculing the narcissism and hubris involved in getting tweaked over a 10K room in a 700 *billion* dollar facility, while concurrently pounding one’s own chest as a grand humanitarian archetype.

By the way, UPMSee got me thinking again…

Seriously. That’s some f-ed up shit. I hate people like that!

November 23, 2009 5:17 pm

i am donating $1 to the gameroom for every snotty and indignant post i earn BECAUSE I LOVE SICK KIDS.
i am an awesome human being.
Jill
November 23, 2009 5:20 pm
So it’s the amount that’s a problem? 10K is not large enough, because the facility is so much more expensive …? I’m afraid that just doesn’t make sense to me. Ginny should save her enthusiasm for really large donations, I suppose. Do you have an exact figure we could throw around?
I refer you to this paragraph:
Now, you ask, can’t UPMC just fork over a quick 10 grand and do this themselves? I don’t know. Maybe they could. The point is that you and me, WE are giving this room to these kids as a gift and we’re essentially letting them know that there’s a whole city of people that would really like to see them kick the hell out of whatever it is they’re fighting at the moment.

I really love charities where you know your money is going directly to fund something specific–not like some big charities where you’re often wondering if you’re paying for advertising or helping to cure a disease. But I digress…this is a fantastic idea. I wish that I wasn’t so far from Pittsburgh, but I plan to donate on Monday as well.
If you, Ginny, or anyone else here reading is interested in a similar cause, Penn State does a fundraiser for pediatric cancer called the Penn State Dance MaraTHON, or THON for short. All the money goes to the Four Diamonds fund, which sends the money directly to families by way of support–food vouchers, gas money, hotel stays, etc. for families who have children with cancer at Hershey Medical Center. This enables parents to stay above water while their life seems to fall apart. In addition to this, the money goes to help provide games and support for the children, much in the same way this fundraiser does. Students at PSU raised $7.49 million for the Four Diamonds fund last year. You might see the canners standing in the middle of the street in the winter–I hope you roll down your window and throw in some loose change next time you see one!
I know it’s not technically “Pittsburgh,” but after you raise your 10K (and I’m sure you will), this could be the next big step for you!
Also, UPMSee is not going to be swayed by a plethora of negative comments. I just hope that in disliking Ginny’s plan of action, he or she finds another way to donate to a charity in a way that he or she sees fit.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

As the one who was fortunate enough to write the Pittsburgh Magazine article about Jamie and Ali McMutrie and the extraordinary volunteer work they do in Haiti for orphaned children, THANK YOU, GINNY for including the Ti Kanaval event in your heart and in your post. I look forward to doing everything I can for our sick kids at Children’s Hosp, too! (Love the idea for portable gaming devices for kids who are confined to bed.)

I wasn’t going to do this, but I changed my mind. Hey UPMC:
I don’t have a bad thing to say to you. I know who you are. Maybe not personally, but I know people like you. I married someone who used to be like you. He felt that no one ever did anything for him, so when we do things for other people you have to try and be a jerk. 2 years ago, my husband was the same way. Give money for kids?? No way, that’s my money. Then, last year his ex wife decided to burn her house down. All of his kids things were lost in that fire. Toys, clothes, everything. What now? We couldn’t afford to all of a sudden have 6 people living in our house, eating everyday. Mr. No-faith-in-humanity had one hell of a change of heart. You see, complete strangers (Burghers) starting dropping off bags of clothes, toys, money, gift cards, even Christmas decorations. My parents showed up with food. A friend of the family we barely knew handed my husband $1500 for a lawyer to make sure those kids were never in harms way again. So now, guess where we’re gonna end up at dinner on Saturday?? With crowds, and traffic, and parking? Why because people changed his mind. And I think that some day, fr no reason at all, people will change your mind too. And when that day comes, your not going to care where a room is being boult, but for who it being built. You won’t care if at the end of the day a great writer gets to pat herself on the back, but that you get to pat yourself on the back for helping kids smile. And you know what? It’ll feel good to them and to you.
Good luck to you, UPMSee.
And because I’m on my iPhone, I can’t go back and check my grammer, so no judging my inability to spell…lol

Another thing, UPMSee. I work for that great establishment. Yes, they spent a lot of money to build a HOSPITAL. So sorry about that. Sorry that sick kids have a place to go. Sorry they had to spend a lot of money to build a safe, secure place for the kids.
Sure, they should be buying a game room for the kids, but guess what? They’re not. So someone needs to step in. I support Ginny and her efforts 110% Clearly, since you think you are so awesome, I can’t wait to hear about all the things you are doing for sick kids and the needy this holiday season. What’s that? Nothing? Didn’t think so. Get off your high horse and do something better with your life than torment others doing a good thing on a blog. You pathetic piece of crap.
I’ll be looking forward to your dollar donation on Monday.

November 23, 2009 6:15 pm

anyway, since i love sick kids (did you know how much i love sick kids like pittgirl) and because i am awesome like pittgirl, i will send $100 for the gameroom if this tread gives reaches 100. larded up with all of your collective rage and piety -its an early kick off for the weekend of discounted margaritas and self-congratulating.

It’s very easy to post a link and ask people to go vote for something. It gets a little bit harder when shenanigans happen and it starts to look like voting is pointless. Things start to turn complicated when people start saying that they would rather hand over $5 than fight with a rigged contest.
When it came to that, it would have been very easy to just walk away. Forget the contest, forget the mission, just wait for it to go away. Easy.
Accepting the challenge to raise money took cajones. There is no denying it because accepting that challenge also meant accepting the complications associated with doing a fundraiser. You have to worry about how the money will be collected, the tax implications for both the donor and yourself, liability issues, making sure the donations will be used appropriately, making sure the donations fit into the needs of the organization on the other end, etc. There is a lot to figure out, and as much as others may be willing and able to help, you still have to shoulder the responsibility if you want to make sure it all works out. Then there is all the energy and time required to make sure that the outcome lives up to expectations.
Ginny, you’re doing a good thing. I know you won’t pat yourself on the back, but when you pull this off, I’ll be the first in line to do it. I’m willing to bet I’ll be patting you on the back within a week of the donation button going up.

Is there self-interest on Ginny’s part? Sure. Outside of Mother Theresa and Ghandi (maybe), I don’t think anyone does charity for completely selfless reasons.
Why does that bother you, UPMSee? It in no way affects you. You are commenting for nobody but yourself. At least what Ginny is doing will help a bunch of sick kids.
Why not just donate the $100 because it is the right thing to do?
To the people commenting about UPMSee, name calling lowers you to his level. Why do it?

Games and other activities are a huge part of helpings kids get through their hospitalizations, so this with have a direct and significant benefit to thousands and thousands of sick and injured kids every year. Be proud, readers of That’s Church. And on behalf of Children’s and the patients, thank you.

December 20th, 1996, my son was 13 months old and life-flighted to Children’s Hospital. It was the scariest time of my life. We spent 10 days there (he in an induced coma so as not to pull out all the tubes coming from everywhere), while he recovered from RSV. A few times during the following years he was hospitalized for bronchitis, pneumonia and asthma, but I’m happy to say that today he is a happy and healthy 14-year old.
Many times I wanted to say thanks in some way to Children’s Hospital and the excellent staff for pulling him through. I sent cards of thanks for the first few years over the holidays, but it just didn’t seem like enough. The dedicated doctors and nurses that work so hard to give the best care, I believe, would LOVE to see this happen for the kids they treat. And the kids themselves really deserve it!
Thanks so much for the great effort you’ve put into this cause. I, along with many, many others, are very grateful.

There’s a charity called Child’s Play (http://www.childsplaycharity.org) put on by the guys who run the web comic Penny Arcade. Every year, they get gamers of all types around the world to donate money. The cause? Various children’s hospitals around the world submit Wish Lists to Amazon of toys, video games, and the like that they need, and the money is spread across these hospitals.
There is not currently a Pittsburgh hospital there, so maybe someone could contact Child’s Play to be added next year.
I by no means intend to stomp over the awesome work being put on here…call it an alternate source of more joy for our sick kids in the Burg. (I mean, Cleveland, Cincinnati, and Baltimore all are listed on Child’s Play, but not Pittsburgh…just sayin’, is all…)

Ten grand? That’s how much Mario will pocket from the first hour of nacho sales when the new arena opens, thanks to the giveaway deal he got. He got that deal after lying about moving the Pens. So Mario’s name doesn’t exactly motivate me to write checks that buff up his image, y’know?

@ Don
Given what I said about other commenters above, I will not tell you what I think of you. As for your comment – have you ever heard of the Mario Lemieux Foundation? I am not sure how much he has donated out of his own pocket, but he has given his time and used his celebrity status to raise millions for his charity.
As for the new arena, Mario is a businessman. He did what Rooney, McClatchy and owners across the country have done – used the leverage he has (i.e., threatening to leave) to get what he needs to keep Crosby, Malkin, etc… Nobody forced the city and state to give him the money.

let’s criticize anyone willing to help others. That always makes me feel better about myself. Yes, Lemieux has a bazillion dollars and stands to make more every second.And I’m sure they get a handsome tax write off for every cent of charity.
And IMAGINE a small business owner who still wants to make a little bit of profit THE HORROR!
SO what if UPMC is an evil evil empire much like starbucks and walmart. There are people, children, who deserve help and I don’t care what kind of “motives” are behind the giving and I am thankful for them.

yes we are!
may i also suggest that in lieu of funding a $10,000 playroom for a multi-billion dollar, international health conglomerate and a hockey magnate, you instead could donate to the funeral fund for the impoverished family of the three poor children who died less than a month ago in clairton.
they weren’t sick, rather they were incinerated alive, though no fault of their own. living in public housing, in a community with the some of the most toxic air in the country, these children didn’t make it to the honor roll that discount margaritas confers.
Donations can be sent to the administration building at 502 Mitchell Ave., Clairton, 15025. Checks should be made payable to Clairton City School District and indicate the donation is for the fire victims’ families.
the only reference to clairton that comes up on this site is ridiculing a resident for selling a coupon on ebay.
enjoy those markdown margaritas!
