Aaron's Last Wish

New member
Wanted to share this with my fellow Raven members. I'm a member of another message board for a band called 311 (reggae/rock/rap hybrid...doesn't matter). One of our members, screen name OCOJAA, real name Aaron Collins has suddenly died at the young age of 30 years old.

Aaron used to like to give big tips (even though he had very little money himself) when at a restaurant/pizza delivery guy/etc., especially if that person was having a bad day. It wasn't unusual for him to give a grumpy delivery guy $50 extra. It was his idea that giving these people a little extra would cause them to be happier and then they might do something nice for someone else in return. Pay it forward.

Now that he has passed, his family got a "small" request from Aaron in his will. Raise as much money as you can and give the money in $500 increments to random strangers/waiters/whoever with a link to the website www.aaroncollins.org that will inform them why they received such a huge tip.

It's been online for only 48 hours and has raised a whopping $17,000 so far that will be used 100% for tips (the family will pay the bill with their own money). Please visit the website above for more information about Aaron, his wish, and how you can donate. Please be patient with the website, as they are experiencing a large amount of traffic with visitors.

Here's a YouTube video of the family giving away the first $500 to a lucky waitress at a pizza shop:
