Auction for ALS - Fighting the F*ckery

Cannonball Read is holding a fundraising auction in honor of longtime Cannonballer, retired CBR board member, and Quick Questions maven, Bothari43. Unlike our usual fundraising efforts to support the American Cancer Society, this auction’s proceeds will go to help fight ALS, (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis), a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. The ALS Association, which funds ALS research and advocates for policies that support people living with ALS and their caregivers, will receive 100% of the proceeds of this auction.

Cannonball Read (CBR), a registered 501(c)(3), a is an online, memorial book challenge to read and review 52 books in a year (or 26 or 13) with a mission to donate profits to the American Cancer Society. We’re essentially a virtual book club where participants read what they want and write what they want, all while shouting to the world, “F— Cancer!”

CBR honors Amanda “AlabamaPink” Amos, our fierce warrior queen who lost her battle with cancer in 2009. Cannonballers since that time have read thousands of books in her memory and have donated over $10,000 in her name.
