No! If you put aside a dollar or so for every takeaway during the season, it will only be a dollar or two per week, depending on how well the defense performs. Some weeks they may get two turnovers, some weeks they might not get any. in 2006 the Bills had 24 turnovers. So, if you pledged $1 per turnover, you would have donated $24. This averages out to be less than 2 dollars per NFL week. Almost everybody can afford that!

Absolutely NOT! We do this for sick children, and we wouldn't put a cap on your generosity. You can pledge as little as ¢50 per takeaway, or as much as you'd like. Most people tend to give between $1-$5.

The pledging process is 100% secure. If you prepay for 30 takeaways, you'll be pledging through PayPal. If you pledge per takeaway, you'll be pledging through Charity Web. When you are filling out the form as to how much you'd like to pledge per ball on the Charity Web page, notice that the web adress has changed from http:// to https:// signifying that you are on a secure page, and nobody can steal your information. Pledge with assurance that you are doing so safely.

As of right now, the Ball burglars don't have an official office or headquarters, so the law firm allows us to use theirs for our mailing purposes. They are the ones who make sure everything being done is on the "up and up". They handle all legal issues and money related issues.

Absolutely! You see, when you help out needy people, the government will help you out too! It's a win-win situation!

Being a Ball Burglar doesn't mean that you have to attend games. One of our goals is to have 70,000 screaming Burglars at the Ralph to intimidate opponents. But the bounty will be there if you are in the stands or not, and our players will know it. You can have an impact from far away! And if you want, you can wear your mask wherever you watch the game. And while you do, spread the word about the Ball Burglar organization!
