Longtime Desert Bus community member Jax (Karfsma778) has entered end-of-life care after a cancer diagnosis earlier this year. Jax requested a special giveaway event from Desert Bus as a gift from this community of which he's been such a long standing part. We are greatly sorrowed but honored to remember Jax with a donation amount that echoes his familiar username: $7.78

There is no prize, but we would be grateful for donations of $7.78 (or multiples thereof) to honor Jax. The pledge count for this drive will end at 9:05pm PT.

UPDATE (9:15pm PT): During the pledge drive, the Desert Bus community raised $29,400.62 in multiples of $7.78, along with an additional $6,300 that helped us get to a Jax-buck of $77,800 (and beyond). In addition, the crew of Desert Bus volunteers pitched in behind the scenes to donate an additional $16,150 to the American Cancer Society in Jax's name.

Altogether, that is $45,540.62 raised for Jax. Jax, thank you for being a part of our lives and for letting us be a part of yours.
