Oh right! I'll send out a group PM to everyone who expressed interest in contributing.

I’ll pitch in too. This is a brilliant idea guys.

Turns out PMing a bunch of people is annoying so I'll just post the info here...
Venmo: rycummins
PayPal: ryan at rycummins dot com
It was only $50 for both cutouts, so don't feel obligated to contribute, but anything extra I'll donate to Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in smitty's name. Or we can submit more smitty photos lol!

The team can always use a couple more good RBI men.

Ended up posting Venmo/PayPal details upthread instead of sending out a PM. We've already covered the costs, so anything extra at this point will get donated to Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in smitty's name (feel free to donate directly if you're more comfortable with that!).

Yes! It got bottom-paged but I think Rockinghorse had a good idea...

I would condense his obit, and add a couple sentences about his love of the Phillies (maybe mention BSG?). Then send that info to the PR office, I'm sure they can get it to CSN producers. I can help with any of that, though a bunch of you actually knew him so you'd be better at writing his blurb.
I was worried there wouldn't be a way to associate any sort of story with the uploaded photos, but I did get an order id so if we want to put together some kind of blurb like this and send it in to the PR/media folks I think it's worth a shot!

Never had the opportunity to meet Smitty, but this was a really cool thing to do. Just contributed.
