October Fundraiser

Hi BTG supporters,

It is October! and time for our second fundraiser of 2021 last April we had a very successful fundraiser in which you guys really chipped in and helped out so much. Thank you again. For those that are new to the site, we have a fundraiser every six months to keep funds in the Burning The Ground PayPal account to go towards site hosting, website security, monitoring & protection, hosting for 24bit files on Mega, buying records that are requested, and to maintain my equipment.

Our goal is always to reach $1000.00 which I know we will meet without any doubt.

I do realize that we are still living in a very difficult time so any amount that you can chip in will be very helpful. I also understand completely if you can’t give anything right now.

All you have to do to make your donation is click on one of the yellow donate buttons anywhere on the site. I use PayPal. It’s safe, secure, and you don’t need an account to make your contribution.

Thank you so much for your help.
