How about this idea. I will put a lot of 200 single Hukilau swizzles sticks on Ebay with a $1 opening bid. The winners will not actually get the swizzle as the shipping would eat the money. Instead, the swizzles would be taken with me to Hukilau and put in drinks served as a reminder. That way, people can donate whatever they want from $1 on up. The only money lost would go to Ebay and PayPal. Every penny raised would just be sent to PJ, no questions asked.

I could even make it a 3 day auction so it could be wrapped up very soon and help would arrive that much quicker.

Creating a mug will take a long time. Selling it will too. And, asking for something in return for your charity cheapens it.

What a great idea Swanky, so are you going to do it? I'll be the first to donate! Of course I can't speak for PJ, but I do know that her being asked to design this mug has meant a lot to her, to be able to think about something other than her current situation for just a few minutes I would imagine has been a welcomed relief.
