The first round of checks went out September 13, 2022. Those were the ones that I already had w9's for from the event. The second round will go out tomorrow. Those were the ones that I received w9's in the mail or email for. 

If you ever wonder why checks take awhile to go out imagine this...

I am at my computer with my angry knee propped up printing off w9's that have been sent. I go to match them with checks and here is where the problem comes in. I have some w9's that do not match any contestants in the computer. Why does this happen? That is a solid question. I have a few possible reasons...

1) You hate me
2) You have multiple identities. The one the IRS knows about is not the one you enter under or you are in witness protection. Either way, a note would be helpful. I promise to eat the paper evidence it was written on and chase it down with some of the amazing vodka that was given to me at the race this year.
3) You sent in a w9 in your name instead of the minor that won the check. Please help me out here...the IRS just hired 87,000 new agents and I'm thinking this is not the year to test a new IRS agent that is in a race to win a toaster oven by exposing the most mistakes in a filing. The w9 must be in the name of the person that got paid. I know that your 8 year old does not file taxes. The IRS does not care. They want every penny accounted for.
4) You wanted to win a check and are hoping I have one with your name on it. 

If you have not sent me your w9 and want your check please get it sent. You can email it to me at becauseofbailey@yahoo.com. 

I have a few prizes to mail out. The winners of 1st-3rd in the average will get their awards and I also had a few buckles that were not picked up from the daily divisional winners.  Those will go out on Monday. 

Thank you all for the kind words and messages you have sent to us. You have no idea how much it means to us and inspires us to continue on the path God has placed us. We are going to do great things this year and help some little ones and their parents. May God bless all of you!

PS . . I am still in search of my gray felt hat. If you find it in your stash from the South Point please let me know. I would like to get it back.
