How To Donate For those that would like to contribute to Matt's charity fund using paypal, just type in JHoinTN's e-mail address: julieahollis@gmail.com
If you don't have paypal but would still like to send a donation, PM or e-mail me, and we can work something out. Also feel free to PM me or e-mail me with questions.
Donations will be accepted until June 25, 2010, after which we'll make the donation in the name of Inforoo. Of course, you would still be welcome to send a donation directly to the address listed below whenever you'd like.
This is where we'll be sending the Inforoo donation (excerpt from his obituary):
"Matt was working in New Orleans with Episcopal Relief and Development, and his desire was to see landscaping at the homes that he was helping to rebuild, so that beauty would be brought back, the birds would return, and the people living in these homes would not only have their bodies sheltered, but their souls fed. To this end, we ask that you not send flowers, but if you would like to help to carry out his wish, your donation would be very much appreciated. Donations may be made to St. Andrew's on-the-Sound, 101 Airlie Road, Wilmington, NC 28403. Please designate to 'Matt's Trees.' "
Can't Donate? For those Inforoosters that aren't financially able to donate at this time, I will be sending a card to Matt's family when we make the donation, to let them know the amount that Inforoo raised for Matt's Trees.
If you'd like to include a message on the card, I will compile a list, print them off, and send it with the card to his family.
You can either PM me your message or send it to my e-mail: julieahollis@gmail.com Please send all messages before June 25. Be sure to include your name or your board name.
rideincircles and drowens both contacted Sanuks. I also e-mailed them the information yesterday (thanks to rideincircles), so hopefully they will contribute in some way.
As for 4:30 this afternoon, we have raised over....
$500
In less than 24 hours. I am amazed and teary-eyed right now. Inforoosters are the most amazing bunch of people, and I am so proud to call you all friends.
Thank you all SO much for your donations... from the biggest to the smallest. Donations are still be accepted, so if you haven't donated yet, I hope you will consider doing so.

After reading at the top of this thread that we are now at $620 - I am just floored - I love Inforoo and I love Bonnaroo.
I have seen this community pull together at such random times and it is such a ray of light in this world to know that there are still good people out there!

I'm sharing this thread as a link with friends and in various places online, is there a way to get more information about Matt and exactly what this is about in the OP? For someone wanting to help that isn't aware of everything, it might could use more info, just a thought.
I am friends with the Marketing Director of a Nashville Radio Station which is Bonnaroo friendly (probably shouldn't say which one.) I will forward him/her this link and see if maybe the station will donated or mention the charity during its public services spots. Who knows what may happen?
BTW, I will be donating next week as soon as funds allow. Way to go InfoRoosters!

I e-mailed Jeff this morning. I told him AC could contribute to the Inforoo fund or send a donation directly. Either way, that is incredibly cool of them. It will be made in the name of the Bonnaroo Works Fund.

They are wanting to get the grounds cleaned first but Jeff said they would love to have a tree planted at Roo in Matt's honor, too, just got an email on that, if anyone wants to help plant it

That's fabulous. Matt deserves an entire grove of trees.

Fantastic! I would love to be there if there is a planting ceremony or anything. The love that people are pouring out is simply amazing. I love it.

I will drive down for it, keep me in the loop please.
I'm amazed at what everyone is doing, what a fantastic community... I only met Matt twice at the inforoo brunches in 08 and 09... So I didn't really know him but his passing is so troubling, I'm so glad so many people are helping his memory to live on.
The link above directs you to my website, which I own and operate. On it, under the 'Roo tab, you will find the first photo labeled 'Carpe Diem.' In honor of Matt's Trees I will donate half of all the proceeds generated from that photo in hopes of spreading the kind-hearted and beautiful spirit Matt left us all with.
