Macklemore & Ryan Lewis! Pearl Jam! Slog! We are in a fierce competition this holiday season to raise money for YouthCare’s Orion Center. And to find out whose fans will are the best fans! Whose fans will do the most to help homeless youth right here in Seattle? Slog is not in the lead! But that’s okay! There’s still plenty of time (until December 24th) for Slog fans to pull ahead and CRUSH Macklemore & Ryan Lewis fans and Pearl Jam fans and prove that Slog fans are the best fans out there!
• Macklemore & Ryan Lewis fans have donated: $30,918.14
• Pearl Jam fans: $24,188.27
• Slog fans: $8,961.00
Fans of those obnoxious, snot-nosed, GIF-pimping upstarts at Seattlish are still donating: $1,895.00 so far! And let’s check back in and see how Seahawks fans are doing: Seahawks* fans have donated $0 so far!
Don’t forget: Donate and you could win a pair of three-day passes to the 2014 Capitol Hill Block Party PLUS two nights at the Hotel Monaco! Every damn band that plays, plus sleeping it off in style. Just donate by noon on Friday, December 13 (any amount counts!), then forward your receipt and tell us in 100 words or less why you want to party at the Block Party and what you’re going to do in your hotel room after. The best reason wins! The winner will be announced Friday afternoon on Slog! Donate to the Orion Center right now!
• Macklemore & Ryan Lewis fans: GO HERE TO GIVE!
• Pearl Jam fans: GO HERE TO GIVE!

Seattlish fans can go here to give and make a note that it’s pro-Seattlish! The fans that raise the most for the Orion Center by December 24th WIN the title of the Best Fans of the Best Band or Best Blog in the Universe Forever!
And give at least $25 to the Orion Center, then forward us your receipt and your commenter handle, and we’ll give you a commenter tag on Slog that says SLOG FAN, MACKLEMORE & RYAN LEWIS FAN, or PEARL JAM FAN! Your choice!
* Again, and in all fairness to Seahawks fans, they weren’t part of this charity challenge and there’s no landing page where Seahawks fans can donate as Seahawks fans. But is that any excuse? Seattlish fans didn’t have a landing page and weren’t part of the challenge when I called them out for failing to donate even single dollar to save the Orion Center. And what did Seattlish do then? They jumped in, created their own damn landing page, and started raising money to save the Orion Center! And Seattlish fans have raised nearly $2,000! But the total donated by Seahawks fans remains stuck at zero dollars?!? Don’t Seahawks fans care about homeless teenagers? GIVE!
