I just made a list of names and an estimate of the money donated. If everyone sends the donation they said we will be about $1000.00 over the cost of the sled. I will get both boys all of the necessary clothing and safety gear and donate the balance to Make A Wish from OSO members. Thank you all once again.
P.S. The bows were all picked over but I think the boys will be alright with the one I was able to find.

Chuck, I possibly have some riding gear (given the fact that your a sledder and know the importance of good riding gear) that the boys could use. PM me with any needs. Include their sizes too.
